Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use washers and avoid overtightening; allow for thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the surface.Clean with mild soap and water or approved polycarbonate cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bearing surfaces
  • Wear strips and guides
  • Protective shields in high-impact areas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-stabilized grades if outdoor use is intended.
  • Do not expose to strong alkaline solvents, which can degrade polycarbonate.
