Burn Marks in Plastic Injection Molding

The burn marks in plastic injection molding are that the gas in the cavity cannot be removed in time, resulting in blackening at the end of the flow.

Causes:

(1) The air in the cavity cannot be removed in time.

(2) Material degradation: overhigh melt temperature; overcast screw speed; improper design of the runner system

Remedies:

Mold design:

(1) Add an exhaust system to a place where the exhaust gas is easily generated

(2) Increase the size of the runner system

Process:

(1) Reduce the injection pressure and speed

(2) Reduce the barrel temperature

(3) Check if the heater and thermocouple are working properly.
