Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cement.Always use a solvent cement explicitly formulated for polycarbonate to prevent material degradation and ensure a strong bond.
Over-tightening threaded connections.Hand-tighten threaded connections, followed by a quarter to half turn with a wrench, to avoid cracking the polycarbonate material.

Common Applications

  • Sight Glasses and Flow Indicators
  • Laboratory Fluid Handling Systems
  • Protective Tubing and Housings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-pressure steam applications.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation unless specifically treated for outdoor use.
  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to certain aggressive solvents; verify compatibility before use.
