Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive torque, which can lead to cracking or stripping of the polycarbonate threads.Apply torque incrementally and stop when snug. Consult torque charts for similar fasteners if available, or use a torque wrench set to a low-to-moderate value.
Exposing the screw to solvents or chemicals known to degrade polycarbonate.Verify chemical compatibility charts for Polycarbonate before use in chemically aggressive environments.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and insulation
  • Medical equipment assemblies
  • Corrosive environment installations

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate can be susceptible to stress cracking when exposed to certain solvents or lubricants. Always verify compatibility.
  • While impact-resistant, avoid applying sharp or localized impacts that could fracture the material.
