Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades designed for plastics to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize appropriately sized washers and avoid overtightening; allow for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic cylinder guards
  • Sight glasses for hydraulic reservoirs
  • Pressure vessel windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Polycarbonate is susceptible to scratching; handle with care during installation and maintenance.
