Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic instead of polycarbonate for high-pressure hydraulic applications.Always specify polycarbonate for its superior impact resistance and pressure tolerance in hydraulic systems.
Improperly drilling holes, leading to stress cracks.Drill holes with sharp bits specifically designed for plastics, and consider pilot holes to reduce stress.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic sight glasses
  • Machine guards for hydraulic equipment
  • Protective enclosures for hydraulic components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Use appropriate safety gear when cutting or machining, as polycarbonate dust can be an irritant.
