Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong type of solvent cement.Always use a solvent cement formulated for polycarbonate to ensure proper fusion and a leak-proof seal.
Insufficient hold time after joining.Adhere to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommended hold time to allow the joint to set before handling or applying pressure.

Common Applications

  • Sight glasses and inspection tubes
  • Pneumatic conveying systems
  • Laboratory and chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to certain strong solvents and alkalis; verify compatibility before use.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless a UV-stabilized grade is specified, as it can degrade the material over time.
