Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize carbide-tipped blades or laser/CNC cutting for clean, precise edges and to prevent chipping or melting.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Employ slotted holes or use washers to distribute load evenly and allow for thermal expansion, ensuring fasteners are snug but not excessively tight.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery
  • Fluid reservoirs and tanks
  • Machine enclosures in high-impact areas

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Chemical compatibility should be verified for specific hydraulic fluids and cleaning agents to prevent degradation.
