Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the screw, which can lead to cracking or stripping of the polycarbonate threads.Use a torque wrench to adhere to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for polycarbonate fasteners.
Using metal tools that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.Employ tools with protective coatings or use plastic wrenches designed for use with polycarbonate components.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Electrical enclosures and control panels
  • Corrosive environment assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for structural load-bearing applications where high tensile strength comparable to steel is required.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless specifically rated for outdoor use, as it may degrade over time.
