Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the polycarbonate screw, leading to thread stripping or head cracking.Utilize a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for polycarbonate fasteners. Hand-tighten until snug, then apply controlled torque.
Using metal tools that can gouge or damage the polycarbonate head.Employ tools specifically designed for plastic fasteners, such as nylon-tipped sockets or wrenches with protective coatings, to prevent surface damage.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and control panels
  • Medical equipment assemblies
  • Food processing machinery components
  • Corrosive chemical handling systems
  • Marine and offshore applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding the glass transition temperature of polycarbonate.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it may degrade the material over time.
