Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can scratch or stress the polycarbonate surface.Employ fasteners with integral washers or use a protective shim during installation to distribute load and prevent surface damage.
Exposing the polycarbonate to harsh chemicals beyond its resistance limits.Consult the material's chemical resistance chart and confirm compatibility with all hydraulic fluids and cleaning agents used in the system.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Reservoir Sight Glasses
  • Protective Guards for Hydraulic Components
  • Fluid Containment Shields

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not subject to continuous UV exposure without appropriate protective coatings, as this can lead to degradation.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with polycarbonate to avoid inhalation of dust or fumes.
