Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize specialized cutting tools with appropriate speeds and feed rates to prevent melting, chipping, or cracking of the material.
Improper edge finishing leading to premature failure.Always deburr and polish all cut edges to remove any sharp points or stresses that could initiate cracks under load.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic components
  • Fluid monitoring panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Ensure compatibility of the polycarbonate with specific hydraulic fluids and operating temperatures before installation.
