Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the polycarbonate screw, leading to thread stripping or head fracture.Use a torque-limiting screwdriver or wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for polycarbonate fasteners.
Using metal tools that can scratch or damage the surface of the polycarbonate screw.Employ plastic or nylon tools when possible, or ensure metal tools are free of burrs and used with care.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Medical device enclosures
  • Electronics and circuit board mounting
