Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks and premature failure.Use washers and tighten fasteners evenly in a star pattern, snug but not excessively tight. Consult material datasheets for recommended torque values if available.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface, reducing clarity and potentially compromising structural integrity.Clean with mild soap and water or a specialized polycarbonate cleaner. Avoid ammonia-based or abrasive cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic manifold covers
  • Sight glasses for fluid level monitoring
  • Protective guards for hydraulic components
  • Custom enclosures for hydraulic controls

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coating, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Do not expose to aggressive solvents such as ketones, esters, or chlorinated hydrocarbons which can degrade the material.
