Detailed Engineering Specifications

Trusted by engineers across multiple sectors, this 0.525" thick polycarbonate stock sheet, measuring 25" in length and 29" in width, is engineered for superior performance in hydraulic systems. Polycarbonate's inherent high impact strength (Izod impact: 12-16 ft-lb/in) and excellent optical clarity allow for reliable sight glass applications and protective guarding. Its operating temperature range (-40°F to 250°F) and resistance to many hydraulic fluids ensure longevity and operational safety in demanding environments. The material's low moisture absorption further contributes to its dimensional stability.
