Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting for clean, precise edges.
Improper sealing or insufficient support, causing leaks or structural failure under pressure.Utilize appropriate gasket materials (e.g., EPDM, Neoprene) and ensure fasteners are torqued according to manufacturer specifications for the specific application.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Machine guarding for hydraulic equipment
  • Protective covers for hydraulic manifolds

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically rated for outdoor use, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific hydraulic fluids, as some aggressive chemicals may affect polycarbonate's integrity.
