Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic.Utilize specialized carbide-tipped blades for polycarbonate to ensure clean, chip-free cuts.
Applying excessive force during fastening.Employ hand-tightening or torque-controlled methods to avoid creating stress points that can lead to premature failure.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Protective shields for hydraulic components
  • Flow indicator windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with aggressive solvents and strong alkalis which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during fabrication processes like cutting and drilling to manage airborne particles.
