Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using solvent cement not rated for polycarbonate.Always use a solvent cement specifically designed and recommended for polycarbonate to ensure proper fusion and prevent material degradation.
Insufficient hold time after joining.Adhere to the manufacturer's specified hold time after joining to allow the solvent cement to adequately set and form a robust, leak-free connection.

Common Applications

  • Visual fluid transfer systems
  • Laboratory equipment and apparatus
  • Protective shielding for sensitive instrumentation

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to strong alkaline solutions which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation during solvent cement application to avoid inhalation of fumes.
