Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use washers and tighten fasteners incrementally to a manufacturer-recommended torque specification.
Exposing the sheet to excessive UV radiation without proper protection, leading to degradation.Utilize UV-resistant coatings or select a UV-stabilized grade if prolonged outdoor exposure is anticipated.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction sliding components
  • Wear strips and guides
  • Conveyor system components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis and certain halogenated hydrocarbons.
  • Always adhere to safety guidelines when cutting or machining polycarbonate.
