Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the polycarbonate screw.Utilize a torque wrench set to the appropriate low torque value for plastic fasteners to prevent stripping or cracking.
Using in applications with extreme impact or shear forces.Evaluate load requirements and consider if polycarbonate's mechanical properties are sufficient, or opt for a higher-strength material if necessary.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Marine and offshore environments
  • Electrical enclosures and assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding the thermal limits of polycarbonate.
  • Avoid exposure to strong abrasive materials which can scratch the surface.
