Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.078-inch thick polycarbonate stock sheet offers a consistent surface finish essential for low-friction applications. Composed of high-grade polycarbonate, it exhibits superior impact strength (Izod impact: 12-15 ft-lb/in) and excellent chemical resistance. The sheet's inherent lubricity minimizes wear and tear in moving parts, making it suitable for sliding components, bearing surfaces, and wear strips. Its dimensional stability ensures reliable performance across a wide temperature range (-40°F to 240°F), preventing deformation and maintaining critical clearances in complex machinery.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, causing stress cracks and reducing material integrity.Use washers and do not overtighten screws or bolts. Allow for slight expansion and contraction.
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface and its lubricating properties.Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction sliding surfaces
  • Wear strips and guides
  • Bearing components in low-load applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for use in high-temperature environments exceeding 240°F.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as it may degrade material properties over time.
