Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate for high-friction applications.Specify and utilize lubricating grade polycarbonate for its inherent low-friction properties.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations.Employ washers and avoid excessive torque when mechanically fastening the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Guide rails in automated machinery
  • Bushings and bearings for low-load applications
  • Chute liners for material handling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or fabricating to prevent the buildup of dust or fumes.
