Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or melting.Employ carbide-tipped blades and maintain appropriate feed rates to ensure clean cuts without heat buildup.
Improper solvent bonding or adhesive selection, causing material degradation or delamination.Utilize only polycarbonate-specific adhesives or bonding agents, and always test on a scrap piece first.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective enclosures for hydraulic components
  • Manifold visualization windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkalis, as they can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the surface.
