Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible sealants or adhesives that can degrade polycarbonate.Always consult the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for both the polycarbonate and the sealant/adhesive to ensure chemical compatibility. Test in a small, inconspicuous area if unsure.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can lead to stress cracking or deformation of the sheet.Utilize torque wrenches and follow recommended torque values for the specific fastener size and material. Consider using washers to distribute pressure.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Manifold Fabrication
  • Sight Glasses and Level Indicators
  • Protective Shields for Hydraulic Equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or chemically attack the polycarbonate surface.
