Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incompatible solvent cements or adhesives.Always consult the manufacturer's recommendations for polycarbonate-specific bonding agents.
Over-tightening or excessive force during assembly.Apply firm but controlled pressure; excessive force can lead to stress cracking.

Common Applications

  • Industrial fluid transfer systems requiring visibility
  • Laboratory equipment and apparatus
  • Protective guarding and enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for highly aggressive chemicals or solvents that degrade polycarbonate.
  • Avoid exposure to prolonged UV radiation without appropriate protection, as it can cause yellowing and embrittlement.
