Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress concentrations and potential cracking.Utilize washers and ensure fasteners are snug but not excessively tightened. Employ torque wrenches if critical.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can degrade polycarbonate's surface.Clean with mild soap and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh solvents.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic machinery
  • Custom fluid reservoir windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for use with highly aggressive solvents or prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings.
  • Handle with care to avoid scratching or gouging the surface, which can compromise optical clarity and structural integrity.
