Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering expansion/contraction of polycarbonate.Employ oversized holes or slotted fasteners with appropriate washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.
Exposing the polycarbonate to incompatible chemicals that can cause crazing or degradation.Consult a chemical resistance chart for polycarbonate to ensure compatibility with hydraulic fluids and cleaning agents.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Machine guarding for hydraulic equipment
  • Protective covers for hydraulic manifolds

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to UV degradation over extended outdoor exposure; consider UV-coated grades if necessary.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.
