Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate, ensuring proper feed rates and cooling.
Overtightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation.Employ oversized holes with washers and allow for thermal expansion. Hand-tighten fasteners unless torque specifications are provided.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures
  • Light Diffusers and Covers
  • Machine Guarding

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong solvents, as they can craze or degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject the sheet to continuous high temperatures exceeding its service limit to prevent deformation.
