Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cements or adhesives.Always use solvent cements specifically formulated for polycarbonate to prevent material degradation and ensure a strong bond.
Exceeding maximum recommended operating temperature or pressure.Consult the material data sheet for the specific polycarbonate grade to verify operating limits and avoid failure.

Common Applications

  • Visual fluid conveying systems
  • Protective shielding for sensitive components
  • Specialty lighting enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to stress cracking in the presence of certain aggressive chemicals (e.g., strong alkalis, chlorinated hydrocarbons).
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper stabilization, as it can lead to embrittlement and yellowing.
