Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize specialized carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Employ self-tapping screws with washers or use a clamping system that distributes pressure evenly.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir covers
  • Machine guarding for hydraulic equipment
  • Sight glasses for hydraulic systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to certain aggressive solvents which can degrade polycarbonate.
