Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate where a lubricating grade is required, leading to premature wear.Always select a lubricating grade polycarbonate for applications involving sliding motion and friction reduction.
Improper cleaning of the mating surfaces, resulting in poor performance or damage.Ensure all surfaces that will come into contact with the polycarbonate are meticulously cleaned and free of debris or contaminants.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction linear guides
  • Wear strips for conveyors
  • Custom bearing surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to solvents that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not exceed the maximum operating temperature of polycarbonate.
