uneven color of injection molded products

Share This Post

The main reasons and solutions for uneven color of injection molded products are as follows:

(1) Colorant diffusion is poor, which often causes patterns to appear near the gate.

(2) Plastics or colorants have poor thermal stability. To stabilize the color tone of parts, production conditions must be strictly fixed, especially material temperature, material quantity and production cycle.

(3) For crystalline plastics, try to keep the cooling rate of all parts of the part consistent. For parts with large wall thickness differences, colorants can be used to mask the color difference. For parts with more uniform wall thicknesses, the material temperature and mold temperature must be fixed. .

(4) The shape and gate form and position of the part have an impact on the plastic filling, causing color differences in some parts of the part, and must be modified if necessary.

PVC Wire and Cable Granulation Formula

PVC cable material is a composition of various components including polyvinyl chloride resin, stabilizer, plasticizer, filler, lubricant, antioxidant, colorant, and more. These materials are carefully blended to achieve specific properties required for PVC cables. The PVC cable materials exhibit high withstand voltage and insulation resistance. However, they also have relatively large dielectric constant and dielectric
