Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that can stress the polycarbonate.Utilize fasteners with integrated washers or specify torque-limiting tools to prevent over-tightening and localized stress points.
Exposing the polycarbonate to aggressive cleaning solvents.Only use mild soap and water or approved polycarbonate cleaners to avoid surface degradation and optical compromise.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic System Sight Glasses
  • Inspection Window Covers
  • Protective Shields for Hydraulic Components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as this can lead to yellowing and reduced impact strength.
  • Ensure adequate support for larger unsupported spans to prevent deflection under pressure.
