Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the screw, potentially stripping threads or cracking the polycarbonate head.Use a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque value for polycarbonate fasteners, or tighten until snug with moderate force.
Using metal tools that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.Employ tools with plastic or coated heads, or carefully use standard metal tools to avoid direct contact with the polycarbonate.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and panels
  • Medical and laboratory equipment
  • Corrosive chemical environments
  • Marine and saltwater applications
  • Applications requiring non-conductive fastening

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate is susceptible to certain aggressive solvents; verify compatibility before use.
  • Avoid excessive impact or point loading that could exceed the material's impact strength.
