Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or melting.Employ sharp, specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or saws with appropriate cooling to prevent thermal damage.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Use washers and avoid overtightening; ensure fasteners are appropriately sized and spaced to distribute load evenly.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Guide rails in automated machinery
  • Protective covers with sliding components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation without protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use aggressive solvents like acetone or MEK, as they can craze or dissolve polycarbonate.
