Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners which can induce stress cracking.Use torque-limiting tools and follow specified torque values. Consider using neoprene or rubber washers for even load distribution.
Using abrasive cleaning agents that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid paper towels; use soft, lint-free cloths.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Sight Glasses
  • Protective Shields for Hydraulic Components
  • Manifold Blocks and Fluid Reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to solvents and harsh chemicals not rated for polycarbonate.
