Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening mechanical fittings, which can crack the polycarbonate.Use a torque wrench to tighten fittings to the manufacturer's specified torque values.
Using incompatible solvents for joining, leading to material degradation.Always refer to polycarbonate solvent compatibility charts and use only recommended adhesives for bonding.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing pipelines
  • Sight glasses and visual monitoring systems
  • Pneumatic conveying systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong UV radiation without proper stabilization, as it may lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
  • Verify chemical compatibility for specific applications, as some aggressive solvents may degrade polycarbonate.
