Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a solvent cement not designed for polycarbonate.Always use a high-quality solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure a strong, leak-proof bond.
Insufficient curing time before pressure testing.Allow the solvent-cemented joints to cure for the manufacturer-recommended minimum time (typically 24 hours) before subjecting the system to pressure.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing and transfer lines
  • Laboratory and pharmaceutical fluid systems
  • Sight glasses and flow monitoring
  • Pneumatic conveying systems
  • High-impact protective conduits

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for continuous exposure to strong alkalis or ketones.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coating as it may degrade material properties over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during solvent cementing to avoid inhalation of fumes.
