Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without consideration for thermal expansion.Employ oversized holes and use fasteners with elastomeric washers to accommodate polycarbonate's thermal expansion and contraction.
Employing abrasive cleaning agents.Clean only with mild soap and water, using a soft cloth to prevent surface scratching and maintain optical clarity.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic reservoir sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic equipment
  • Transparent covers for hydraulic manifolds

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Not recommended for use with certain aggressive solvents, which may cause crazing or chemical attack.
