Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement not rated for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement and primer specifically designed and approved for polycarbonate to ensure a strong, leak-proof bond and prevent material degradation.
Over-tightening threaded connections, leading to stress cracking.Hand-tighten threaded fittings and then apply only a quarter to half turn more, utilizing thread sealant tape rated for plastics if necessary. Avoid excessive force.
Exposing the pipe to temperatures or chemicals outside of polycarbonate's resistance range.Consult the material's chemical and temperature resistance charts to verify compatibility with intended service fluids and ambient conditions.

Common Applications

  • Industrial fluid conveyance systems
  • Protective machine guarding and enclosures
  • Sight glasses and flow monitoring
  • Specialized structural supports

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to stress cracking when exposed to certain aggressive chemicals and solvents; always verify compatibility.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically formulated for outdoor use, as it can lead to degradation and discoloration.
