Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the screw, which can strip threads or deform the polycarbonate head.Use a torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for polycarbonate fasteners. Hand-tighten and then apply minimal additional torque for secure fastening.
Using the screw in environments with prolonged exposure to UV radiation without UV stabilization, leading to material degradation.Specify or select polycarbonate fasteners with UV inhibitors for outdoor or prolonged UV exposure applications.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing equipment assembly
  • Medical device manufacturing
  • Electronics enclosures and mounting

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for structural load-bearing applications requiring high tensile strength.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's continuous use temperature limit.
