Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can create stress points.Employ oversized holes or slotted holes for fasteners to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, preventing cracking.
Aggressive cleaning with harsh chemicals.Utilize mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners to avoid surface damage and maintain lubricity.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear pads
  • Conveyor guide rails
  • Protective machine guards with sliding elements

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless coated, as it may degrade over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface and compromise lubrication.
