Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks.Use washers and do not overtighten mounting hardware; allow for thermal expansion.
Using abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water or a non-abrasive plastic cleaner.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic components
  • Custom fabricated fluid reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV coating, as it can lead to yellowing and brittleness.
  • Do not subject to temperatures exceeding the material's continuous use limit, which can cause deformation or degradation.
