Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using abrasive cutting tools that can melt or chip the polycarbonate.Employ sharp, specialized cutting blades designed for plastics, ensuring proper feed rates and cooling.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking or distortion.Utilize appropriate torque specifications and consider the use of washers or grommets to distribute pressure evenly.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic fluid reservoirs and sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery
  • Custom enclosure panels for hydraulic controls

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-resistant coatings, as it can degrade material properties.
  • Do not use aggressive solvents or cleaning agents that can cause crazing or chemical attack on the polycarbonate surface.
