Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using general-purpose PVC/CPVC solvent cement instead of polycarbonate-specific cement.Always use solvent cement explicitly designed for bonding polycarbonate to ensure proper fusion and prevent material degradation.
Aggressive over-machining or sanding of the pipe ends, compromising wall thickness.When preparing pipe ends for fittings, remove only the minimum amount of material necessary for a clean, snug fit, adhering to manufacturer tolerances.

Common Applications

  • Sight Glass Tubing
  • Protective Machine Guarding
  • Specialized Fluid Transfer Systems
  • Laboratory Apparatus

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-pressure steam applications.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper UV stabilization, as it may cause yellowing or degradation.
  • Ensure compatibility with transported fluids, as certain aggressive solvents can attack polycarbonate.
