Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize fine-tooth blades or laser cutting specifically designed for polycarbonate to ensure clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation in the sheet.Employ proper gasket materials and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Consider slotted holes for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and covers
  • Light diffusers and lenses
  • Machine guards in electrical environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coating, as it may lead to yellowing and degradation.
