Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect solvent cement for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically formulated for polycarbonate to ensure a strong, leak-proof bond.
Over-tightening fittings, causing stress cracking.Hand-tighten fittings and only use tools for minor adjustments to prevent over-stressing the polycarbonate material.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Sight glasses and observation ports
  • Protective conduits for sensitive instrumentation

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for prolonged exposure to strong alkalis or certain aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaning agents which can scratch the optical clarity.
