Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the screw, leading to material deformation or cracking of the polycarbonate.Use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to the recommended torque values for polycarbonate fasteners. Consult material datasheets for precise specifications.
Using the screw in an application exceeding its operating temperature range or chemical resistance capabilities.Verify the chemical compatibility and temperature resistance of polycarbonate against the specific application environment before deployment. Consult the material's technical data sheet.

Common Applications

  • Medical equipment assembly
  • Food processing machinery
  • Electrical enclosures and control panels
  • Corrosive chemical environments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate has a lower tensile strength than many metals; do not use for structural load-bearing applications where high mechanical stress is critical.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless the polycarbonate grade is specifically UV-stabilized, as this can degrade material properties over time.
