Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Use washers and fasteners specifically designed for plastic; tighten fasteners snugly but avoid excessive torque.
Using standard metal drilling techniques without proper cooling.Employ sharp drill bits designed for plastic and use a slow, steady speed with minimal pressure. Consider lubrication to prevent overheating.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Bracing Systems
  • Support Structures for Equipment
  • Suspended Guarding and Partitions

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to abrasive cleaning agents which may degrade surface integrity.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting or drilling operations to dissipate heat and prevent material deformation.
