Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using solvent cement not rated for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement and primer specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure proper bonding and prevent material degradation.
Prematurely stressing the joint before full cure.Allow the joint to cure completely according to the solvent cement manufacturer's instructions before subjecting it to any load or pressure.

Common Applications

  • Visual fluid monitoring systems
  • Protective enclosures for sensitive equipment
  • High-impact structural components in laboratory settings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with aggressive solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically rated for outdoor use to prevent yellowing and brittleness.
