Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use torque-limiting tools and install washers to distribute fastener pressure evenly.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner, using a soft cloth.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic control panel enclosures
  • Sight glasses for pneumatic cylinders
  • Protective guards for pneumatic actuators

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for use in environments with prolonged exposure to strong alkalis or certain organic solvents.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without a protective coating, as it may degrade over time.
