Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard acrylic instead of polycarbonate for impact resistance.Always select polycarbonate for applications requiring high impact strength and resistance to shattering.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Utilize appropriate torque settings and consider using grommets or oversized holes to prevent stress concentration.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Machine guards for hydraulic equipment
  • Pressure vessel windows

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • May degrade with prolonged exposure to UV radiation; consider UV-resistant grades if used outdoors.
  • Avoid contact with strong solvents that can cause crazing or chemical attack.
