Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate.Utilize sharp, fine-toothed blades specifically designed for cutting plastics to prevent chipping and cracking.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentration and potential fracture.Employ washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not overly tight. Consider expansion gaps or slotted holes for larger installations.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Sight Glasses
  • Protective Guards for Hydraulic Components
  • Enclosures for Hydraulic Control Panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to certain aggressive chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Consider thermal expansion and contraction in mounting designs to prevent stress-induced failure.
