Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or a laser cutter for clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation in the polycarbonate.Employ a torque wrench and ensure washers are used to distribute pressure evenly across the fastening points.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system guards and shields
  • Sight glasses for fluid level monitoring
  • Protective enclosures for hydraulic equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to high concentrations of certain solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with polycarbonate, especially during cutting or heating processes.
