Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the polycarbonate screw, which can lead to thread stripping or head deformation.Use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for polycarbonate fasteners. Apply steady, consistent pressure.
Using metallic tools that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate head.Employ tools made of non-marring materials like nylon or brass, or ensure the tool heads are smooth and free of burrs.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and control panels
  • Marine and outdoor equipment
  • Medical device assembly

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not recommended for structural load-bearing applications where high tensile strength is paramount.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive solvents or chemicals not listed as compatible with polycarbonate.
