Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper washers, leading to stress concentration and cracking.Utilize oversized washers with fasteners to distribute load evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Cutting the polycarbonate with tools not designed for plastics, resulting in poor edge quality and potential delamination.Employ fine-tooth blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to achieve clean, smooth edges.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Sight Glasses
  • Machine Guards for Hydraulic Equipment
  • Protective Covers for Hydraulic Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with aggressive solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
