Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting tools with proper lubrication and cooling to achieve clean cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners during assembly, causing stress cracking.Use appropriate washers and avoid overtightening; consider expansion gaps for thermal expansion/contraction.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic sight glasses
  • Machine guarding in industrial settings
  • Protective covers for sensitive components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to certain aggressive solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
