Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using general-purpose PVC cement on polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure proper fusion and prevent material degradation.
Over-tightening threaded connections.Hand-tighten threaded connections and use minimal force with wrenches to avoid stressing the polycarbonate, which can lead to cracking.

Common Applications

  • Sight glass applications for fluid monitoring
  • High-pressure pneumatic conveying systems
  • Specialized chemical handling where transparency is required

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for continuous exposure to certain aggressive solvents and high-temperature steam.
  • Avoid prolonged UV exposure without appropriate protective coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate.
