Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or saws to prevent chipping, cracking, or melting of the material.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Hand-tighten fasteners and utilize washers to distribute pressure evenly. Avoid using power tools for final tightening.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir covers
  • Sight glasses for hydraulic systems
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV-resistant coatings, as this can degrade the material over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
