Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metalworking tools or techniques that can induce stress fractures.Employ specialized tooling and slow, controlled feed rates when cutting, drilling, or milling polycarbonate. Consider edge preparation techniques like flame polishing or tumbling for smoother edges.
Exposing the polycarbonate to aggressive chemicals or solvents not compatible with the material.Consult a chemical resistance chart for polycarbonate and ensure that any hydraulic fluids, cleaning agents, or sealants used are rated as compatible to prevent degradation or discoloration.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Sight Glasses
  • Machine Guarding and Enclosures
  • Protective Shields for High-Pressure Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May be susceptible to UV degradation over prolonged outdoor exposure; consider UV-coated grades for such applications.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with certain strong alkalis and aromatic hydrocarbons which can cause crazing.
