Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.Clean with mild soap and water, or a plastic-specific cleaner. Avoid ammonia-based products.
Drilling mounting holes too close to the edge, leading to stress concentration and potential cracking.Maintain a minimum edge distance of 2-3 times the hole diameter for all drilled holes.
Exposing the material to continuous temperatures exceeding its service limit.Consult the material's technical data sheet for maximum continuous operating temperature and ensure the application stays within these parameters.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Self-lubricating bearings and bushings
  • Guide rails and chute liners in material handling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Machining operations should be performed at moderate speeds with adequate cooling to prevent melting and tool damage.
