Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that may over-stress the polycarbonate during installation.Utilize fasteners with larger bearing surfaces or washers to distribute load and prevent localized stress concentrations.
Exposing the material to excessive UV radiation without proper shielding, leading to degradation.If UV exposure is unavoidable, select a UV-stabilized grade or apply a UV-protective coating.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Guide rails for automated systems
  • Bearing surfaces in material handling equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged contact with strong solvents that can attack polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject to continuous temperatures exceeding the material's rated limit.
