Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracking.Use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended specification for polycarbonate and employ sealing washers for even pressure.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can degrade polycarbonate.Clean only with mild soap and water or approved polycarbonate cleaning solutions. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Reservoir Sight Glasses
  • Protective Shields for Hydraulic Components
  • Custom Hydraulic System Enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and temperature control during operation to prevent thermal degradation and potential warping.
