Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening polycarbonate screws, which can lead to cracking or stripping of the threads.Apply firm but controlled torque, utilizing a torque wrench if precise specifications are required. Avoid excessive force.
Using metal tools that could scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.Employ tools with soft tips or ensure that metal tools do not come into direct contact with the screw head or shaft during installation.

Common Applications

  • Medical equipment assembly
  • Food and beverage processing machinery
  • Electronic enclosures and sensitive instrumentation

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not intended for structural load-bearing applications where high tensile strength is critical.
  • Avoid exposure to aggressive solvents that may degrade polycarbonate.
