Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to cracks or stress fractures.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, creating localized stress points that can lead to premature failure.Apply fasteners with moderate torque, utilizing washers if necessary, to ensure even pressure distribution and avoid over-compression.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses and inspection windows
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery
  • Custom fabricated enclosures for fluid handling components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this may degrade material properties over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can chemically attack polycarbonate.
