Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped blades specifically designed for cutting plastics to prevent chipping and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Apply fasteners with moderate torque and consider using washers or a continuous gasket to distribute load evenly.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic fluid reservoirs
  • Machine guards for hydraulic equipment
  • Sight glasses in hydraulic lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid direct contact with aggressive solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Protect from prolonged exposure to UV radiation if used in outdoor applications without UV stabilizers.
