Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized carbide-tipped saws or routers with a high tooth count for clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations that can lead to premature failure.Employ washers and avoid direct metal-to-plastic contact. Ensure fasteners are snug but not overtightened, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic equipment
  • Custom fabricated hydraulic fluid containment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it may degrade material properties over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during any cutting or machining operations to remove dust and fumes.
