Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening, which can lead to stripping of polycarbonate threads or material deformation.Apply torque gradually and use a torque wrench to stay within recommended torque specifications for polycarbonate fasteners.
Using metal tools that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.Utilize tools with appropriate coatings or ensure careful handling to prevent surface damage.

Common Applications

  • Electronic enclosure assembly
  • Medical equipment fastening
  • Corrosive environment applications
  • Food processing machinery
  • Electrical insulation components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for structural load-bearing applications where high shear or tensile strength is critical.
  • Avoid exposure to extreme UV radiation for prolonged periods, which may degrade material over time. Consider UV-stabilized grades if necessary.
