Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or routers designed for polycarbonate to achieve clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracking or deformation of the polycarbonate.Utilize washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not over-torqued. Consider slotted holes for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear pads and guides
  • Self-lubricating bearings and bushings
  • Chute liners and slide surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong solvents or UV radiation which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining polycarbonate to dissipate heat and fumes.
