Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without proper washers, leading to localized stress concentrations.Utilize large-diameter, flat washers to distribute clamping force evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Cutting or drilling polycarbonate with dull tools, resulting in chipping and rough edges.Employ sharp, specialized cutting and drilling tools designed for plastics, ensuring smooth edges.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system guards
  • Sight glasses for fluid reservoirs
  • Protective covers for hydraulic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkalis and certain aromatic hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can scratch or damage the surface.
