Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers that can concentrate stress.Utilize flat, wide washers to distribute clamping force evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to potential cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance for all drilled holes, typically at least twice the hole diameter.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Sight Glasses
  • Machine Guards and Protective Barriers
  • Enclosures for Hydraulic Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, which can degrade the material.
  • Do not use aggressive solvents such as acetone or chlorinated hydrocarbons, as they can cause crazing or dissolution.
