Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvents for joining.Consult the manufacturer's recommendations for polycarbonate-specific solvent cements or adhesives to ensure a strong, leak-proof bond.
Exposing the pipe to excessive UV radiation without protection.Consider UV-stabilized grades or apply protective coatings if the application involves prolonged outdoor exposure to prevent material degradation.

Common Applications

  • High-purity fluid transfer systems
  • Specialty chemical processing
  • Laboratory instrumentation and optical applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-temperature steam service.
