Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plasticsUtilize carbide-tipped blades or specialized routing bits for clean cuts and to minimize thermal stress.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress crackingEmploy washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact; allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic sight glasses
  • Protective shields for hydraulic machinery
  • Transparent manifolds and fluid containment
  • Custom hydraulic component fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that may scratch or damage the surface.
