Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement or primer for polycarbonate.Always utilize solvent cements and primers explicitly rated for polycarbonate to ensure proper bonding and prevent material degradation.
Insufficient curing time before pressurizing the system.Adhere strictly to the manufacturer's recommended curing times for the solvent cement before introducing any pressure to the installed pipe.

Common Applications

  • Visual fluid transfer lines
  • Laboratory apparatus and equipment
  • Protective shielding and enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with aggressive solvents or high concentrations of certain chemicals that may cause crazing or degradation.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV radiation unless specifically rated for outdoor use, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
