Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize carbide-tipped blades and coolant to prevent melting and chipping during fabrication.
Exposing the sheet to UV radiation without protective coating for extended outdoor use.Select a UV-resistant grade or apply a UV protective film to prevent yellowing and embrittlement.

Common Applications

  • Wear strips and guides in conveyor systems
  • Low-friction sliding components in machinery
  • Protective shields for high-wear areas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis and certain aromatic hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or damage the surface.
