Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate for high-friction applications.Select a specialized lubricating grade polycarbonate sheet designed for reduced friction and wear.
Inadequate surface preparation before installation.Thoroughly clean and dry the mounting surface to ensure proper adhesion and prevent premature failure.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Utilize appropriate washers and fasteners, applying even torque to avoid localized stress points.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bearing surfaces
  • Wear strips and guides
  • Conveyor system components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper shielding, as it can degrade material properties over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically attack the polycarbonate surface.
