Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks or deformation.Use washers and tighten fasteners only until snug, avoiding excessive force.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools that can scratch the polycarbonate surface.Clean with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth or sponge.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Machine guards for hydraulic equipment
  • Protective enclosures for fluid power components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as it may lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Do not expose to solvents that are incompatible with polycarbonate, as this can cause crazing or dissolution.
