Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that are too short or too long, leading to improper seating or stress on the polycarbonate.Select fasteners with appropriate length and thread engagement for the mounting substrate and ensure they are compatible with polycarbonate.
Drilling mounting holes with a dull bit or at excessive speed, causing heat buildup and potential for cracking.Use sharp drill bits specifically designed for plastics and maintain a moderate drilling speed with adequate cooling if necessary.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic fluid sight glasses
  • Protective shielding for hydraulic components
  • Fluid reservoir windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can chemically attack polycarbonate, compromising its integrity and clarity.
