why bubbles in injection molding

-
In the process of injection molding, the bubble inside is a serious defect.

Air bubbles in injection molded transparent parts will affect the appearance quality of products. At the same time, it will also reduce the strength of injection molded products.

The bubbles are mainly produced in the process of injection molding:

  • The raw materials are not dried enough or air mixed in the raw materials.

  • In the injection molding process, the injection speed is too fast, the residual material inside barrel is too much, and the back pressure is too low.

  • Poor mold venting and low mold temperature.


How to solve:



  • Raw materials should be fully dried.

  • Reduce the screw temperature and the temperature of the feeding port.

  • Increase the back pressure  and reduce the ejection position of screw (more residual material).

  • Reduce injection speed and increase mold temperature.

  • Increase the injection pressure and time and improve the venting of the mold.

  • Retain bubbles on the nozzle material or main runner by changing the injection position for cold runner mold.


CASE STUDY:

injection molding bubbles 

The curve part of this product is easy to get bubbles, and the solution steps :

  1. raw materials should be fully dried. （120℃、4h）

  2. Properly reduce the screw temperature and the temperature of the nozzle to prevent premature melting and decomposition of PC materials, and air cannot be eliminated.

  3. Because the gate is small, it is difficult to squeeze bubbles out of the cavity by increasing the holding pressure and time.

  4. This product is designed with a cold runner , so the best solution is to keep bubbles on the nozzle material. (Increase the injection position of the first stage, reduce the injection speed of the first stage and appropriately increase the back pressure  )

what is plastic mold?

What Is Plastic Mold?   What is plastic mold? The tooling used for plastic injection molding is called plastic mold or plastic injection mold . Most plastic products are molded by plastic molds. Plastic molds are divided into two types: thermosetting and thermoplastic mold ,according to the molding plastic characteristics. Based on the molding process, the plastic mold is divided into plastic injection mold, blow mold, casting mold, pressing mold,and so on. The injection mold is made up of two main sections: the moving half and the fixed half. The moving half is mounted on the moving platen of the injection molding equipment, and the stationary half is mounted on the stationary platen. Over the injection molding, the moving and the stationary half are shut to develop an injection structure and a cavity structure. Once the mold is open, the moving half and the stationary half are split up to clear away the plastic item from the plastic mold. As a way to decrease the mol...

Injection product stress mark solution

-
Image
On plastic injection products, especially for raw materials such as ABS, PP and PC, you will often see shiny stress marks on the surface of products, such as injector pin stress marks, insert stress marks and stress marks of wall thickness difference . These apparent shiny, white markings are the result of internal stresses , which are nothing more than orientation and cooling shrinkage stresses. The irregular stress marks near the gate are caused by the typical orientation stress, and the difference of wall thickness is the result of orientation and contraction stress, those stress marks are made by ejector pins and sliders . Normally , with the increase of holding pressure and time, the first occurrence is the stress mark of wall thickness difference, the stress mark of ejector pin, then the stress mark of meat thickness difference, and finally the irregular stress mark near the gate (gray section will appear on the side), which of course also depends on the specific structure of the...
