Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Improper cutting techniques leading to material stress or delamination.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped cutting tools designed for plastics and maintain consistent feed rates to prevent overheating and stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress concentrations and potential cracking.Employ torque-limiting tools and ensure adequate washer surface area to distribute pressure evenly across the Nylon surface.

Common Applications

  • Wear strips and guide rails
  • Bushings and bearings
  • Low-friction sliding surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to high-intensity UV radiation without protective measures.
  • Not recommended for continuous operation in highly acidic or alkaline environments without prior compatibility testing.
