Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize sharp, high-speed steel or carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting plastics like polycarbonate.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential failure.Employ proper torque specifications and consider using washers to distribute load evenly when fastening polycarbonate components.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic System Sight Glasses
  • Protective Shields for Hydraulic Components
  • Custom Hydraulic Manifold Covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Use only cleaning agents specifically recommended for polycarbonate to prevent surface crazing or damage.
