Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cements or primers not designed for polycarbonate.Always use solvent cements and primers explicitly recommended for polycarbonate to ensure proper bonding and prevent material degradation.
Over-tightening threaded connections, leading to stress cracking.Hand-tighten threaded connections and then make only a quarter to half turn with a wrench, avoiding excessive force.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Laboratory and scientific instrumentation
  • Specialized industrial process piping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for continuous operation with strong alkalis or aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • Subject to UV degradation if exposed to prolonged direct sunlight without UV stabilizers.
