Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to localized stress and potential cracking.Use a torque wrench to apply specified fastener torque and consider using a gasket or washer system.
Using incompatible cleaning solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.Employ only mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic System Sight Glasses
  • Protective Guards for Hydraulic Components
  • Transparent Fluid Reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can cause yellowing and reduce impact strength.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemicals, which can scratch or damage the surface.
