Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible joining adhesives or techniques not rated for polycarbonate.Always use solvent cements or mechanical fittings specifically formulated and recommended for polycarbonate to ensure a durable and leak-free joint.
Over-tightening mechanical fittings, which can cause stress cracking.Follow torque specifications provided by the fitting manufacturer and avoid excessive force when tightening connections to prevent damage to the pipe.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure sight glasses and fluid monitoring systems
  • Pneumatic conveying systems requiring impact resistance
  • Specialized laboratory and chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate shielding, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Ensure the operating temperature and pressure do not exceed the material's rated limits for the specified wall thickness.
