Brittleness in Plastic Injection Molding

Brittleness is that the plastic part is easily cracked or broken in some place

Causes:

(1) Dry conditions are not suitable; use excessive recycled materials

(2) Injection temperature setting is wrong

(3) The gate and runner system settings are not appropriate

(4) The melting mark strength is not high

Remedies:

Material:

(1) Set appropriate drying conditions before injection molding

(2) Reduce the use of recycled materials and increase the proportion of raw materials

(3) Use high-strength plastic.

Mold design: Increase the size of the main runner, branch runner, and gate

Machine: Choose a well-designed screw to make the temperature distribution more uniform during plasticization

Process:

(1) Reduce the temperature of the material cylinder and nozzle

(2) Reduce back pressure, screw speed, and injection speed

(3) Increase the material temperature and injection pressure, improve the melting strength
