Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate for high-wear, low-friction applications.Utilize this specialized lubricating polycarbonate sheet which possesses inherent self-lubricating properties to reduce wear and operational friction.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations and potential cracking.Employ appropriate torque settings for fasteners and consider oversized holes or slots to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Self-lubricating bearing surfaces
  • Sliding components in automated machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV stabilization, as it can degrade material properties.
  • Ensure compatibility with surrounding chemicals and solvents before installation.
