Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvents or adhesives not rated for polycarbonate.Always consult the material compatibility chart and use only solvents/adhesives specifically recommended for polycarbonate to prevent material degradation or joint failure.
Exceeding the maximum rated pressure or temperature for polycarbonate.Adhere strictly to the pressure and temperature derating curves for polycarbonate at the specified wall thickness and operating conditions to ensure system integrity.

Common Applications

  • Visual fluid monitoring systems
  • High-impact protection for sensitive components
  • Specialized chemical containment where clarity is essential

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to stress cracking in the presence of certain chemicals, particularly amines and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Verify compatibility.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate UV stabilizers, as this can lead to embrittlement over time.
