Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening, leading to thread stripping or material deformation.Use a torque wrench set to the recommended value for polycarbonate fasteners. Avoid excessive force.
Using in applications exceeding the operational temperature range of polycarbonate.Verify the ambient and operational temperatures against the material's specifications to prevent embrittlement or softening.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Marine and offshore installations
  • Electrical enclosures and control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding polycarbonate's thermal limits.
  • Avoid exposure to strong UV radiation for extended periods without UV stabilization, which can degrade material properties.
