Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cements or adhesives not rated for polycarbonate.Always verify chemical compatibility charts for polycarbonate and select solvent cements or adhesives specifically designed for this material to prevent stress cracking.
Exceeding maximum pressure or temperature ratings for polycarbonate pipe.Consult the material data sheet and application-specific design parameters to ensure operating conditions remain within the specified limits for the polycarbonate material.

Common Applications

  • Sight Glass Tubing
  • Protective Housings for Instrumentation
  • Low-Pressure Fluid Transfer Systems
  • Laboratory Apparatus

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate is susceptible to attack from certain strong alkaline solutions and some organic solvents; consult chemical resistance charts before use.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings or shielding, as it can degrade the material over time.
