Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped saws specifically designed for cutting plastics. Utilize a slow feed rate and proper blade tooth count.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential failure.Use washers and avoid overtightening. Allow for thermal expansion by creating slightly oversized holes for fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards and protective shielding
  • Abrasion-resistant work surfaces
  • Polishing fixtures and templates

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for continuous exposure to temperatures exceeding 250°F (121°C).
  • Avoid contact with aggressive solvents such as ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and aromatic hydrocarbons, which can degrade the material.
