Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or routers designed for acrylic and polycarbonate to achieve clean cuts and prevent stress fractures.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact when fastening. Allow for slight material expansion and contraction by not over-torquing fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder components
  • Enclosures for pneumatic controls
  • Machine guarding for pneumatic machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as it can degrade material over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to dissipate heat and prevent melting or deformation.
