Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize specialized carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting for clean, chip-free edges.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to stress concentration.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 2x the hole diameter for drilled holes.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic System Sight Glasses
  • Protective Machine Guards
  • Transparent Fluid Reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-resistant coatings, which can degrade material properties.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can chemically attack polycarbonate.
