Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic cutting tools which can lead to chipping and cracking.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools, such as carbide-tipped blades, and maintain sharp edges to ensure clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential failure.Utilize oversized holes or slots for fasteners to accommodate polycarbonate's thermal expansion and avoid excessive clamping force.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Guide rails for automated systems
  • Protective shields in high-impact areas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate properties.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific lubricants and cleaning agents, as some chemicals can cause crazing or stress cracking.
