Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use washers and tighten fasteners incrementally to achieve a snug fit without excessive force.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can degrade polycarbonate.Clean with mild soap and water or a polycarbonate-specific cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic sight glasses
  • Fluid reservoir windows
  • Protective guards for hydraulic components
  • Custom manifold fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to prolonged UV radiation without protective coatings, as this can cause yellowing and reduced impact strength.
  • Ensure compatibility with specific hydraulic fluids before installation; consult material data sheets for detailed chemical resistance.
