Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ sharp, specialized router bits or laser cutters designed for polycarbonate to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential material failure.Utilize washers and hand-tighten fasteners, allowing for slight thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective shielding for hydraulic components
  • Fluid reservoirs and containment units

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Consider UV resistance requirements for outdoor or prolonged light exposure applications.
