Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized fine-tooth saw blades or laser cutters designed for plastics to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, creating stress points that can lead to premature failure.Employ washers and allow for slight expansion/contraction by not fully seating fasteners, ensuring a snug but not restrictive fit.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures
  • Machine Guarding
  • Lighting Diffusers
  • Protective Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when heating or fabricating polycarbonate to avoid hazardous fumes.
