Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that do not account for thermal expansion of Polycarbonate.Utilize fasteners designed for plastics or incorporate oversized holes with washers to allow for expansion and contraction.
Applying excessive heat during machining, leading to melting or deformation.Employ sharp tooling and adequate cooling (air or fluid) during cutting and drilling operations.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear components
  • Protective guards and shields
  • Custom bearing surfaces

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can degrade the material.
  • Polycarbonate is susceptible to certain aggressive chemicals; consult a chemical resistance chart before use in corrosive environments.
