Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the screw, which can strip the threads or crack the polycarbonate head.Always use a torque wrench and adhere to the recommended torque limits for polycarbonate fasteners. Consult the material's datasheet for specific values.
Using metal tools that can scratch or damage the polycarbonate surface.Utilize plastic or composite tools specifically designed for use with plastic fasteners to preserve the integrity and appearance of the screw.

Common Applications

  • Electrical enclosures and equipment housing
  • Medical device assemblies
  • Chemical processing plant components
  • Corrosive atmospheric environments
  • Marine and coastal applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate has a lower tensile strength than most metals; do not exceed recommended torque values.
  • Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures outside the material's operational range, which can affect its mechanical properties.
  • Ensure compatibility with mating materials to prevent galvanic corrosion if used in a mixed-material assembly.
