Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering thermal expansion.Employ fasteners with washers or slotted holes to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate.
Cutting or machining without proper tooling.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped tools specifically designed for plastics to prevent chipping and melting during fabrication.

Common Applications

  • Wear strips and guides in automated machinery
  • Self-lubricating bearings and bushings
  • Slide plates and conveyor components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protection, as it can degrade material properties over time.
  • Ensure compatibility with any chemical agents it may come into contact with during operation.
