Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to chipping or cracking of the polycarbonate.Utilize sharp, fine-toothed blades specifically designed for cutting plastics, such as a carbide-tipped saw or a laser cutter.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential delamination.Employ washers and avoid overtightening. Allow for slight expansion and contraction due to temperature changes by using slotted holes where appropriate.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction sliding surfaces
  • Wear strips and guides
  • Self-lubricating bearings and bushings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong solvents which may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Continuous exposure to UV radiation can cause yellowing and embrittlement; consider UV-resistant grades for outdoor applications.
