Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can stress crack polycarbonate.Employ specialized fasteners with washers or use a "snap-in" channel system to distribute pressure evenly.
Exposing the sheet to aggressive solvents or cleaning agents.Consult a chemical resistance chart for polycarbonate and use only approved cleaning solutions.

Common Applications

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

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the polycarbonate surface.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement over time.
