Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible joining compounds or solvents not specifically rated for polycarbonate.Always use adhesives, sealants, or lubricants explicitly approved for use with polycarbonate to prevent material degradation and joint failure.
Exposing the pipe to temperatures exceeding its service limit, leading to deformation or loss of mechanical properties.Verify the operating temperature range of the polycarbonate and ensure it is maintained within these limits throughout the system's lifecycle.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure fluid transfer systems
  • Corrosive chemical handling
  • Visual monitoring and inspection lines

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not exceed the maximum recommended operating pressure and temperature limits for polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically coated or protected, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
