Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate. Maintain sharp edges and appropriate feed rates.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress risers and potential sheet failure.Utilize oversized holes with washers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction. Do not exceed recommended torque values.

Common Applications

  • Wear strips and guide rails
  • Low-friction sliding components
  • Conveyor system parts

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as this can degrade the material over time.
  • While resistant to many chemicals, consult a chemical resistance chart for specific compatibility before exposure to aggressive solvents or cleaning agents.
