Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible adhesives or solvents that can degrade polycarbonate.Always consult the manufacturer's material compatibility chart and use only recommended adhesives or sealants specifically designed for polycarbonate.
Over-tightening fittings, which can cause stress cracking in the polycarbonate material.Hand-tighten fittings and then provide only a quarter-turn to half-turn more, or use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's specification for polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer lines
  • Sight glasses and visual monitoring systems
  • Protective shielding and enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for continuous exposure to strong alkalis or certain aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that can scratch the optical clarity.
