Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this M20 x 99mm hex head cap screw features a 13mm head width and is constructed from robust polycarbonate. This advanced polymer provides superior resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids and alkalis, making it suitable for applications where traditional metal fasteners would corrode. Its non-conductive properties are crucial for electrical insulation and preventing galvanic corrosion. The high impact strength ensures durability in demanding operational conditions. Torque values should be carefully considered to avoid over-stressing the polycarbonate material.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the screw.Refer to torque charts for polycarbonate fasteners or use a torque wrench set to a low, controlled value to prevent stripping or cracking.
Using in environments with extreme temperature fluctuations beyond polycarbonate's rating.Verify operating temperature range of polycarbonate and select alternative materials if conditions exceed its capabilities.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and switchgear
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Marine and offshore installations
  • Food and beverage processing machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate has a lower tensile strength than most metals; do not substitute for load-bearing applications requiring high shear or tensile strength without engineering review.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless the polycarbonate grade is UV-stabilized, as this can degrade the material properties over time.
