Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement or adhesive for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure proper bonding and prevent material degradation.
Insufficient curing time before subjecting the pipe to pressure or stress.Adhere strictly to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommended curing times for full bond strength before operational use.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid conveyance
  • Sight glasses and viewing windows
  • Protective enclosures for sensitive equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with strong alkaline solutions or certain aromatic hydrocarbons which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically rated for outdoor use, as it can lead to yellowing and embrittlement.
