Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate where specific lubricity is required.Select this specialized lubricating polycarbonate grade to ensure reduced friction and extended component lifespan.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations and potential cracking.Use washers and distribute fastening points evenly to avoid localized stress on the polycarbonate sheet.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Conveyor system components
  • Sliding guides and bearings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific lubricants; while generally resistant, extreme chemical environments may require testing.
