Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement not rated for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement explicitly designed for polycarbonate to ensure proper bonding and prevent material degradation.
Insufficient cure time before subjecting the assembly to pressure.Allow the solvent cement to cure fully according to the manufacturer's specifications before introducing fluid or load to prevent joint failure.

Common Applications

  • Sight glasses for fluid monitoring
  • Chemical transfer lines
  • Protective shielding and enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-pressure steam applications.
  • Avoid exposure to strong alkalis or chlorinated hydrocarbons which can degrade polycarbonate.
