Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. 2. Carefully align the polycarbonate sheet with pre-drilled mounting holes or designated attachment points. 3. Secure the sheet using appropriate fasteners, avoiding overtightening to prevent stress cracking. Use washers designed for plastic materials if necessary.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal fasteners without proper spacing or washers.Employ fasteners with a wider bearing surface (washers) and ensure adequate spacing to distribute load and prevent localized stress concentrations that can lead to cracking.
Exposing the polycarbonate to harsh chemicals or solvents not compatible with the material.Consult the material compatibility chart for polycarbonate to ensure it will not degrade or become compromised by any hydraulic fluids, cleaning agents, or environmental contaminants.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic fluid reservoirs and sight glasses
  • Protective shielding for hydraulic components
  • Machine guarding in high-impact hydraulic environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV stabilization, as it can degrade over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools that can scratch the surface, compromising optical clarity and structural integrity.
