Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement or primer.Always use solvent cement and primer specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure a strong, reliable bond.
Not allowing sufficient cure time.Adhere strictly to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommended cure times before subjecting the pipe to pressure or stress.
Exceeding the material's temperature or pressure limitations.Consult the material datasheet and application requirements to ensure the operating conditions remain within the specified limits for polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic Conveying Systems
  • Sight Glass and Visual Inspection Tubes
  • Protective Shielding and Guards
  • Laboratory and Chemical Transfer Lines
  • Low-Pressure Fluid Handling

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with strong alkaline solutions or certain aromatic hydrocarbons which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV stabilizers, as it can lead to material embrittlement.
  • Ensure compatibility with all fluids and operating conditions to prevent premature failure.
