Detailed Engineering Specifications

Specified by design engineers worldwide, this 0.026-inch thick, 20-inch by 31-inch polycarbonate stock sheet is engineered for critical hydraulic applications. Exhibiting exceptional impact strength (Izod notched: 12 ft-lb/in), a high tensile strength (8,500 psi), and excellent chemical resistance, it maintains optical clarity (90% transmission) even under stress. Its thermal stability (continuous use temperature: 250°F) and low moisture absorption make it a preferred material for sight glasses, seals, and protective covers in fluid power systems.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize a fine-tooth blade on a jigsaw or circular saw, specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate, and maintain a consistent feed rate.
Over-tightening fasteners, inducing stress points that can cause premature failure.Employ oversized holes with appropriate washers to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, and tighten fasteners only until snug.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective covers for hydraulic components
  • Seals and gaskets in fluid power applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to aggressive solvents and strong alkaline solutions, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining to dissipate heat and prevent melting or discoloration.
