Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. Verify dimensional accuracy of cutouts. 2. Apply sealant if required by the application's environmental sealing needs, ensuring compatibility with polycarbonate. 3. Secure the polycarbonate sheet using appropriate fasteners, avoiding over-tightening which can induce stress and lead to cracking. Distribute load evenly.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard mechanical fasteners without proper spacing or load distribution.Employ strategically placed fasteners with washers to distribute stress and prevent point loading, thereby mitigating the risk of cracking.
Exposing the polycarbonate to incompatible chemicals that can cause crazing or degradation.Consult a chemical compatibility chart before installation to ensure the chosen sealants and hydraulic fluids are safe for polycarbonate contact.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Reservoir Windows
  • Sight Glasses for Fluid Levels
  • Protective Guards for Hydraulic Machinery
  • Manifold Blocks and Fluid Channels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline solutions or certain aromatic hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Thermal expansion/contraction must be accounted for in mounting design to prevent stress-induced failure.
