Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the polycarbonate screw, leading to thread stripping or head deformation.Use a torque wrench set to the recommended torque specification for polycarbonate fasteners to ensure proper tension without damaging the material.
Using the screw in an application exceeding its temperature or chemical resistance limits.Consult the polycarbonate material datasheet to verify compatibility with the specific environmental conditions and chemical exposures of your application.

Common Applications

  • Electronics enclosures and components
  • Medical equipment assembly
  • Automotive interior and exterior trim
