Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal fasteners without proper spacing or washers.Utilize fasteners specifically designed for polycarbonate, incorporating rubber or neoprene washers and ensuring adequate spacing to distribute load and prevent localized stress.
Exposing the sheet to solvents or harsh chemicals that can degrade polycarbonate.Consult the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for compatibility and use only approved cleaning agents and sealants suitable for polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic fluid reservoirs and sight glasses
  • Protective shielding for hydraulic pumps and valves
  • Gauges and instrumentation covers in hydraulic systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and reduced impact strength over time.
  • Do not subject to extreme temperature fluctuations that exceed the material's rated operational range.
