Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement not rated for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically designed and recommended for polycarbonate materials to ensure a strong, chemical bond.
Over-tightening threaded connections, leading to stress cracking.Hand-tighten threaded fittings and then back off slightly. Avoid using excessive force, especially with power tools, to prevent material damage.

Common Applications

  • Transparent fluid conveying systems
  • Protective machine guarding
  • Laboratory equipment and apparatus

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with strong aromatic solvents or chlorinated hydrocarbons, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV stabilizers or protective coatings, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
