Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.013-inch polycarbonate stock sheet measures 46 inches in length and 39 inches in width. Engineered from high-grade polycarbonate, it exhibits outstanding impact resistance (over 100 ft-lbs/in notched Izod), excellent chemical inertness to common hydraulic fluids, and superior optical clarity. Its high tensile strength (90 MPa) and low coefficient of thermal expansion (-70 x 10^-6 /°C) ensure dimensional stability across a wide operating temperature range, critical for leak-free hydraulic component housings and protective shielding.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic cutting tools which can cause chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting tools such as fine-tooth saw blades or CNC routers designed for plastics.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to localized stress and potential failure.Employ washers and do not exceed the recommended torque specifications for polycarbonate, allowing for slight expansion and contraction.
