Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard polycarbonate for high-friction applications.Specify and utilize the designated lubricating grade of polycarbonate for reduced wear and improved longevity.
Overheating during machining, leading to material distortion.Employ sharp tooling and adequate coolant during all machining operations to maintain dimensional integrity.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction bearing surfaces
  • Wear strips and guides in conveyor systems
  • Self-lubricating bushings and washers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically formulated for outdoor use.
  • Do not use with strong alkaline solutions or chlorinated hydrocarbons, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
