Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening, leading to thread stripping or head fracture.Use a torque wrench and adhere to manufacturer-recommended torque specifications for polycarbonate fasteners.
Using metal tools that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.Employ plastic or coated tools to maintain the aesthetic integrity and surface finish of the cap screw.

Common Applications

  • Corrosion-sensitive equipment assembly
  • Electrical enclosures and insulation
  • Marine and chemical processing environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid excessive force during installation, as polycarbonate can be brittle under extreme impact or over-torquing.
  • Not recommended for structural load-bearing applications where high tensile strength is critical.
