Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting for clean, precise edges without compromising material integrity.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential crazing or cracking.Employ washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Allow for thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Reservoir Sight Glasses
  • Protective Guards for Hydraulic Actuators
  • Transparent Hydraulic Manifold Covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, as this can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific hydraulic fluids; consult chemical resistance charts for Polycarbonate.
