Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize specialized saw blades or routers designed for plastics to achieve clean, precise cuts without damaging the material.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can induce stress and cause the polycarbonate to crack.Employ oversized holes for fasteners and use washers to distribute pressure evenly. Do not over-torque screws or bolts.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Machine guards for hydraulic equipment
  • Protective covers for hydraulic manifolds

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid contact with aggressive chemicals that may degrade polycarbonate.
  • Protect from prolonged exposure to UV radiation if not specifically UV-stabilized, as it can lead to yellowing and brittleness.
