Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause micro-fractures.Utilize specialized polycarbonate cutting blades or laser cutting to maintain sheet integrity and prevent stress risers.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Employ fasteners with rubber washers or grommets and torque them to the manufacturer's recommended specifications for polycarbonate to distribute load evenly.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Protective shielding for hydraulic equipment
  • Custom hydraulic manifold components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions and certain aromatic hydrocarbons, as these can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining or heating polycarbonate to prevent the release of potentially harmful fumes.
