Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic instead of polycarbonate for high-impact hydraulic components.Always specify polycarbonate for applications requiring superior impact resistance and toughness, especially in hydraulic environments.
Improper cutting techniques leading to micro-cracks.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting tools and techniques, such as slow speeds and sharp blades, to prevent stress concentrations and cracking.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic components
  • Fluid level indicators
  • Machine guards in hydraulic environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions and certain aromatic hydrocarbons which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not subject polycarbonate to excessive heat or direct flame, as it is combustible and can melt or deform.
