Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped saw blades or routers specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress points and potential material failure.Employ a washer system or oversized holes when fastening to distribute load evenly and prevent stress concentration.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips and guides
  • Slide plates and bearings
  • Chute liners and wear surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV stabilizers, as this can degrade material properties over time.
  • Not recommended for continuous operation at temperatures exceeding 120°C (248°F) without testing.
