Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use washers and tighten fasteners gradually and evenly to distribute load.
Exposing the polycarbonate to aggressive solvents not compatible with the material.Verify chemical compatibility charts before use with specific hydraulic fluids or cleaning agents.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic fluid reservoirs and sight glasses
  • Protective shielding for hydraulic machinery
  • Manifold blocks and custom hydraulic components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV protective coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools that can scratch the surface, compromising optical clarity and structural integrity.
