Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ sharp, carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Utilize washers and allow for slight expansion/contraction by not over-tightening fasteners; consider slotted holes for larger sheets.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Conveyor Guides
  • Low-Friction Wear Strips
  • Specialized Bearing Surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless a UV-stabilized grade is specified.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
