Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a standard saw blade not designed for plastics.Utilize a fine-toothed, carbide-tipped blade specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to prevent chipping and melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress fractures.Employ washers and do not over-tighten screws or bolts when mounting; allow for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Machine guarding for hydraulic presses
  • Protective shields for hydraulic valve banks

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Ensure compatibility with hydraulic fluids; some chemicals may cause crazing or swelling.
