Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the screw, which can strip the polycarbonate threads or fracture the head.Always use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque value for polycarbonate fasteners. Consult material datasheets for specific torque limits.
Using metal tools that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface, potentially compromising its integrity.Utilize tools specifically designed for plastic fasteners or ensure a protective layer is used between the tool and the screw head.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and control panels
  • Marine and offshore equipment
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Corrosive environments requiring non-conductive fasteners

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not exceed the maximum recommended torque specification for polycarbonate to prevent material failure.
  • Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures beyond the material's rated operating range, which could affect mechanical properties.
