Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to localized stress and potential cracking.Use a torque wrench and follow specified torque values for fasteners. Consider using washers to distribute load.
Using incompatible cleaning agents that can degrade polycarbonate surface properties.Employ mild soaps and water or specialized polycarbonate cleaners. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh solvents.

Common Applications

  • Machine guards for pneumatic equipment
  • Sight glasses and viewing windows
  • Housings for pneumatic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically treated, as it can cause yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Ensure proper ventilation if operating in environments with high levels of airborne particulate matter that could abrade the surface.
