Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force during cutting, leading to micro-cracks.Employ controlled cutting speeds and appropriate tooling to avoid thermal stress and mechanical damage.
Exposing the sheet to harsh cleaning solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.Utilize mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners for maintenance.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic components
  • Transparent enclosures for hydraulic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV coating, as it can cause yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not subject the material to temperatures exceeding its continuous service temperature limit.
