Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard PVC/ABS solvent cement, which can degrade polycarbonate.Always use solvent cement specifically designed for polycarbonate to ensure a strong and reliable bond.
Over-handling or subjecting the pipe to excessive impact during installation, potentially causing micro-fractures.Handle with care, utilizing proper lifting and support techniques, especially in colder temperatures where polycarbonate can be more brittle.

Common Applications

  • Fluid and chemical transfer systems
  • Sight glasses and visual flow indicators
  • Laboratory and research equipment
  • Pneumatic conveying systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with strong alkaline solutions or chlorinated hydrocarbons, as these can cause degradation.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate protective coatings, as it can affect clarity and strength over time.
