Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use appropriate washers and torque settings to distribute fastener loads evenly.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can degrade polycarbonate.Consult the material data sheet for recommended cleaning solutions; mild soap and water are typically suitable.

Common Applications

  • Low-friction machine guides
  • Wear strips and sliding components
  • Conveyor system components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • While impact resistant, avoid sharp, concentrated impacts which can initiate cracks.
