Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvents or adhesives that can degrade polycarbonate.Always verify chemical compatibility charts for solvents and adhesives specifically with polycarbonate before application.
Over-tightening mechanical fittings, leading to stress cracking.Utilize torque wrenches and follow manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for mechanical fittings to prevent over-tightening.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer in chemical processing
  • Sight glasses and flow monitoring in food and beverage industries
  • Corrosion-resistant conduit for sensitive instrumentation

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate stabilization, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
  • Ensure operating temperatures remain within the manufacturer's specified limits to prevent deformation or loss of mechanical properties.
