Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential cracking.Use washers and tighten fasteners incrementally and evenly to avoid localized stress points.
Using aggressive cleaning agents that can craze or degrade the polycarbonate surface.Employ mild soap and water or a polycarbonate-specific cleaner. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic System Sight Glasses
  • Protective Guards for Hydraulic Actuators
  • Custom Manifold Windows
  • Machine Enclosures for Hydraulic Power Units

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and reduced impact strength.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific hydraulic fluids and operating temperatures to prevent material degradation.
