Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic instead of polycarbonate for high-impact pneumatic applications.Always specify polycarbonate for applications requiring superior impact strength and fracture resistance, especially in environments prone to mechanical stress.
Inadequate support or fastening leading to flexing or deformation under pressure.Ensure sufficient structural support and use appropriate fasteners to maintain the sheet's rigidity and prevent bowing, especially in pressurized pneumatic enclosures.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding for Pneumatic Equipment
  • Transparent Enclosures for Control Panels
  • Sight Glasses and Observation Windows in Pneumatic Systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline solutions which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as they can scratch the surface and reduce optical clarity.
