Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ carbide-tipped saw blades or laser cutting for precise, chip-free edges.
Fastening the sheet too tightly, causing stress and potential cracking.Utilize oversized holes and rubber washers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction without inducing stress.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir covers
  • Machine guarding for hydraulic equipment
  • Sight glasses and inspection windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coatings, as it can degrade the material over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically attack the polycarbonate surface.
