Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening polycarbonate fastenersUse a torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for polycarbonate to prevent stripping threads or cracking the material.
Using in excessively high-temperature environmentsVerify the operating temperature range of polycarbonate (typically up to 120°C) and select an alternative material for higher temperature applications.

Common Applications

  • Chemical Processing Equipment
  • Food and Beverage Manufacturing
  • Electrical Enclosures and Assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for applications requiring extreme temperature resistance above 120°C.
  • Avoid exposure to strong UV radiation for prolonged periods without UV stabilizers, which may degrade the material over time.
