Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize sharp, specialized blades for polycarbonate to achieve clean cuts and prevent chipping or fracturing.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential cracks.Employ washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not excessively tight, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Machine guarding for hydraulic equipment
  • Protective covers for hydraulic pumps and valves

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with strong alkalis or chlorinated hydrocarbons which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during any fabrication processes involving heat or cutting.
