Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement for polycarbonate.Utilize only solvent cements specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure a strong, leak-proof bond and prevent material degradation.
Over-tightening threaded connections.Hand-tighten threaded connections for polycarbonate and follow with a minimal turn using a wrench to avoid cracking the material.

Common Applications

  • Sight glasses for fluid monitoring
  • Pneumatic conveying systems
  • Chemical processing lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for continuous use with strong alkaline solutions or certain aromatic hydrocarbons which can cause crazing.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper protective coatings to prevent yellowing and degradation.
