Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fastenersUse a calibrated torque wrench and refer to material guidelines for appropriate torque values to prevent cracking or deformation.
Improper cleaning of mating surfacesThoroughly clean both the polycarbonate sheet and the mating surface with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to ensure optimal contact and performance.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction wear strips
  • Self-lubricating bearings
  • Guide rails for automated systems
  • Protective guards in high-wear environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically treated for outdoor use.
  • Do not use aggressive solvents or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the surface finish and reduce lubricity.
