Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized routing bits designed for plastics to achieve clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential fracture points.Employ washers and tighten fasteners incrementally to distribute load evenly, preventing localized stress.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic System Sight Glasses
  • Protective Guards for Hydraulic Machinery
  • Fluid Reservoir Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV inhibitors, as this can degrade the material over time.
  • Do not expose to aggressive solvents or cleaning agents that are incompatible with polycarbonate.
