Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.093-inch thick polycarbonate sheet measures 14 inches by 17 inches. The integral lubricating properties of the material, achieved through an advanced additive process, provide a low coefficient of friction, excellent wear resistance, and inherent impact strength. This makes it suitable for demanding applications where reduced surface friction and extended service life are critical, such as wear strips, slide guides, and low-friction bearing surfaces. Its excellent clarity and machinability further enhance its versatility in custom component fabrication.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate where low friction is required.Specify and use this lubricating grade polycarbonate for applications demanding reduced friction and wear.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use appropriate washers and avoid excessive torque when securing the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Wear strips and guides
  • Low-friction slides and runners
  • Protective covers for moving parts

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings if outdoor use is intended.
  • Do not expose to strong alkaline solvents, as this may degrade the material.
