Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this 0.380" thick polycarbonate sheet, measuring 22" x 32", provides superior mechanical properties crucial for hydraulic applications. Its high impact strength (Izod: 160 ft-lb/in) and excellent optical clarity ensure reliable performance and visibility. The material exhibits a high tensile strength (90 MPa) and a low coefficient of thermal expansion (65 µm/m-°C), ensuring dimensional stability in fluctuating hydraulic fluid temperatures and pressures. Its inherent UV resistance further enhances longevity in exposed environments.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners which can lead to stress concentrations and eventual cracking.Utilize washers to distribute load and tighten fasteners to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for polycarbonate.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery
  • Enclosures for hydraulic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkalis, as they may cause degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the surface.
