Brittleness
Low melt
temperature
• Measure melt temperature with pyrometer
Degraded/
overheated
material
• Decrease melt temperature
• Decrease back pressure
• Use smaller barrel/excessive residence time
• Decrease screw rpm
Gate location
and/or size
• Relocate gate to nonstress area
• Increase gate size to allow higher flow rate and lower
molded in stress
Fibers on Surface
(Splay)
Melt temperature
too low
• Increase injection speed
• Increase screw rpm
Insufficient packing
• Increase pack and hold pressure, and time
Processing Guide 5
Sink Marks
Part geometry
too thick
• Reduce wall thickness
• Reduce rib thickness
• Maintain nominal wall thickness
Melt too hot • Decrease nozzle and barrel temperatures
Insufficient
material volume
• Increase pack pressure/time
Flash
Injection pressure
too high
• Decrease injection pressure
• Increase clamp pressure
• Increase transfer position
Excess
material volume
• Decrease pack pressure
• Decrease shot size
Melt and/or mold
too hot
• Decrease screw speed
Excessive Shrink Too much
orientation
• Increase packing time and pressure
• Increase hold pressure
• Decrease melt temperature
• Decrease injection speed
• Decrease screw rpm
• Increase venting
Not Enough Shrink Too little
orientation
• Decrease packing pressure and time
• Decrease hold pressure
• Increase injection speed
• Increase screw rpm
• Decrease cooling time
6 Therma-Tech
Burning
Melt and/or mold
too cold
Mold design • Clean, widen and increase number of vents
• Increase gate size or number of gates
Moisture • Verify material is dried at proper conditions
Nozzle Drool Nozzle temperature
too hot
• Decrease nozzle temperature
• Decrease back pressure
• Increase screw decompression
• Verify material has been dried at proper conditions
Weld Lines
Melt front temperatures
are too low
• Increase pack and hold pressure
• Increase vent width and locations
Mold design
• Perform short shots to determine fill pattern
and verify proper vent location
• Add vents and/or false ejector pin
• Move gate location
Warp
Excessive orientation
• Decrease injection pressure and injection rate
Mold design • Increase number of gates
Sticking in Mold
Cavities are
overpacked
• Decrease injection rate and pressure
• Decrease pack and hold pressure
Mold design • Increase draft angle
Part is too hot
