Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening, which can strip the polycarbonate threads or fracture the screw.Utilize a torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque specifications for polycarbonate fasteners.
Using metal tools that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.Employ tools made from non-marring materials or apply protective sleeves to metal drivers.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and panel mounting
  • Medical device assemblies
  • Food and beverage processing equipment
  • Corrosion-resistant applications
  • Applications requiring non-magnetic properties

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for structural load-bearing applications where metal fasteners are typically required.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation, which can degrade polycarbonate over time. Consider UV-resistant variants if necessary.
