Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic instead of polycarbonate for high-pressure hydraulic applications.Always specify polycarbonate for hydraulic components due to its significantly higher impact strength and shatter resistance compared to acrylic.
Inadequate support or mounting, leading to stress concentrations.Design and implement a robust mounting system that distributes load evenly and avoids point stress on the polycarbonate sheet.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery
  • Fluid containment reservoirs and covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid harsh chemical cleaners not rated for polycarbonate, as they can cause crazing or degradation.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and temperature control during fabrication processes involving heat to prevent material deformation.
