Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement not formulated for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically designed for polycarbonate to ensure proper chemical fusion and a strong, leak-proof joint.
Insufficient curing time before pressurizing the system.Allow the solvent-cemented joints to cure for the manufacturer-recommended time (typically 24 hours) before introducing any pressure or load.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing fluid lines
  • Sight glasses and visual flow indicators
  • High-impact protective conduits

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to crazing when exposed to certain solvents or high stress concentrations.
  • Consult material compatibility charts for specific chemical resistance before use.
