Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.197" thick polycarbonate stock sheet measures 33" in length and 21" in width. Its inherent high impact resistance, exceeding that of glass and acrylic, makes it ideal for hydraulic fluid reservoirs, sight glasses, and protective shielding in high-pressure environments. The material's excellent clarity ensures visibility of fluid levels and system integrity. It exhibits good chemical resistance to many hydraulic fluids, though specific fluid compatibility should always be verified. Its light weight and ease of fabrication further enhance its utility in hydraulic component design and manufacturing.
