Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or cause excessive pressure.Employ rounded-head fasteners or install grommets to distribute pressure evenly and prevent localized stress concentration.
Cutting the polycarbonate with a blade that generates excessive heat.Utilize a sharp, fine-tooth blade designed for plastics, and maintain a consistent feed rate to minimize heat buildup and prevent melting or chipping.

Common Applications

  • Wear strips and guides
  • Sliding mechanisms
  • Conveyor components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation without appropriate UV stabilizers.
  • Chemical resistance should be verified for specific operating environments.
