Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Utilize high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide-tipped cutting tools with appropriate rake angles to prevent melting and chipping.
Drilling holes too close to edges without pilot holes.Always drill pilot holes for fasteners and maintain adequate edge distance to mitigate stress concentration and prevent cracking.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic System Enclosures
  • Machine Guards and Sight Glasses
  • Protective Covers for Actuators and Valves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation without proper UV coating, as it can degrade the material.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific chemicals used in the pneumatic system to prevent material degradation.
