Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the screw, which can lead to material deformation or cracking of the polycarbonate.Utilize a torque wrench to apply the manufacturer-recommended torque specifications for polycarbonate fasteners, or tighten until snug and secure without excessive force.
Using incompatible solvents or cleaning agents that can degrade polycarbonate.Refer to polycarbonate chemical resistance charts and use only approved cleaning agents and solvents.

Common Applications

  • Corrosion-prone chemical processing equipment
  • Electrical enclosures and insulation systems
  • Medical devices and laboratory apparatus

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate has a lower temperature limit than many metals; avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures exceeding its operational range.
  • While impact-resistant, polycarbonate can be susceptible to scratching; handle with care during installation and operation.
