Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without vibration dampening.Utilize fasteners with integrated vibration dampeners or install rubber grommets to prevent fretting and cracking.
Applying harsh chemical cleaners that can degrade polycarbonate.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid ammonia-based or abrasive solvents.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic pumps and valves
  • Fluid reservoirs and containment units

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coating, which can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or tools that can scratch the polycarbonate surface, compromising optical clarity.
