Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening fasteners during installation.Use hand tools and tighten fasteners only until snug to avoid inducing stress concentrations that can lead to cracking.
Using abrasive cleaning agents or tools.Clean polycarbonate with mild soap and water, and use soft cloths or non-abrasive sponges to prevent scratching.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic System Sight Glasses
  • Protective Machine Guards for Hydraulic Equipment
  • Fluid Reservoir Covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV-protective coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and degradation.
  • Consult chemical compatibility charts before exposing to aggressive solvents or certain industrial fluids.
