Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvents or adhesives.Always consult the polycarbonate manufacturer's recommendations for approved bonding agents to prevent material degradation.
Applying excessive force during assembly or installation.Polycarbonate is strong but can be brittle under extreme impact. Handle with care and avoid over-tightening connections.

Common Applications

  • High-impact fluid transfer systems
  • Laboratory and chemical processing lines
  • Protective conduit for sensitive instrumentation

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for continuous use with strong alkalis or certain aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as this can cause yellowing and embrittlement.
