Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal-cutting tools that can cause chipping or cracking.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting plastics to achieve clean, precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking in the polycarbonate.Employ hand-tightening or torque-limiting tools, and consider using washers to distribute pressure evenly across the mounting surface.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic cylinder guards
  • Sight glasses for hydraulic reservoirs
  • Machine guards for hydraulic power units

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Consider UV-resistant grades if the application involves prolonged direct sunlight.
