Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Utilize high-speed steel or carbide-tipped saw blades specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise edges and prevent chipping.
Improper sealing leading to leaks in hydraulic systems.Employ chemical-resistant gaskets and sealants specifically rated for polycarbonate and the hydraulic fluid being used, ensuring a watertight bond.

Common Applications
