Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the polycarbonate screw, leading to thread stripping or head deformation.Always use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to manufacturer-recommended torque values for polycarbonate fasteners.
Using metal tools that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate head.Employ tools made from non-marring materials or ensure careful handling to maintain the integrity of the screw head.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and equipment mounting
  • Chemical processing and laboratory equipment
  • Food and beverage processing machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate has a lower maximum service temperature than most metals; consider ambient and operational temperatures.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade polycarbonate over time.
