Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too sharp or pointed.Employ fasteners with a washer or a rounded tip to distribute pressure evenly and prevent localized stress concentration.
Exposing the polycarbonate to solvents or cleaning agents it's not rated for.Consult the material's chemical resistance chart and use only approved cleaning solutions for polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic equipment
  • Manifold components and enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to high UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and reduced impact strength.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools that can scratch the polycarbonate surface, compromising clarity and structural integrity.
