Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Utilize calibrated torque wrenches and install fasteners with a slight clearance to accommodate thermal expansion and prevent excessive pressure.
Using incompatible cleaning solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.Employ only mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners recommended by the manufacturer.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic System Sight Glasses
  • Protective Covers for Hydraulic Components
