Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate at recommended speeds to prevent damage.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Utilize washers and do not overtighten fasteners. Allow for a small gap to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Self-lubricating bearings and bushings
  • Guide rails in automated systems
  • Slide plates for material handling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or damage the surface.
