Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize sharp, high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting plastics to prevent chipping and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations.Employ gasketed fasteners or slotted holes to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, and avoid excessive torque.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic fluid reservoirs
  • Sight glasses for hydraulic systems
  • Protective shielding for hydraulic machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
