Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cements or adhesives not rated for polycarbonate.Always use solvent cements and primers specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure proper fusion and prevent material degradation.
Exposing the pipe to excessive UV radiation without protection in long-term outdoor applications.Consider UV-resistant coatings or housings for extended outdoor use to prevent embrittlement and material degradation over time.

Common Applications

  • Visual fluid transfer systems
  • Protective conduit for sensitive components
  • Laboratory equipment and manifold construction

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for high-pressure steam applications.
  • Avoid contact with strong alkaline solutions and certain aromatic hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
