Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cements.Always use solvent cements specifically designed for polycarbonate to prevent material degradation and joint failure.
Insufficient curing time before pressurization.Allow adequate time for the solvent cement to cure fully as per the cement manufacturer's recommendations before subjecting the pipe to pressure.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure pneumatic conveying systems
  • Hydraulic fluid lines in industrial machinery
  • Visual inspection tubing for chemical processing
  • Protective guarding for sensitive equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically UV-stabilized, as this can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when using solvent cements to avoid inhalation of fumes.
