Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use a torque wrench and follow recommended torque specifications for fastener installation. Ensure a washer is used with each fastener to distribute pressure.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean the polycarbonate with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective machine guards for hydraulic equipment
  • Enclosures for hydraulic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-resistant coatings, which can cause yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not use polycarbonate in direct contact with certain aggressive chemicals that can cause etching or swelling. Consult chemical compatibility charts.
