How to increase the gloss of ABS injection-molded products?
2024-11-11
Injection Mold 1. If the mold cavity is poorly machined, with defects such as scratches, micro-pores, wear, or rough surfaces, it will affect the gloss of the plastic part. To address this, ensure precise machining of the mold to achieve a lower surface roughness for the cavity; if necessary, polish and chrome-plate the cavity. 2. If the cavity surface has oil stains, watermarks, or excessive mold...

How to Resolve Significant Color Mismatch in Injection Molding: Expert Tips for Consistent Results
2025-02-24
1. Raw Material Quality or Batch Variations: Cause: Differences in raw materials (especially masterbatch) from different batches may lead to color mismatch, or unstable raw material quality can result in inconsistent product colors. Solution: Ensure Consistent Raw Materials: Choose reliable suppliers and perform color difference tests whenever a new batch of materials is used to ensure color consi...

An Introduction to Carbon Fiber Thermoplastic Composites
2025-05-06
Overview of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites Carbon fiber (CF) is produced by carbonizing organic fibers at high temperatures in an inert atmosphere. It is an excellent reinforcing material due to its high strength, high specific modulus, superior thermal properties, chemical stability, and damping, vibration reduction, and noise reduction characteristics. Compared with traditional...

Injection Molding Defect: Fiber Floating – Root Causes and Fixes
2025-06-20
In the injection molding process of glass fiber-reinforced materials, fiber floating is one of the most common surface defects. It appears as an uneven surface caused by exposed glass fibers on the part. This issue not only affects the visual appearance of the product but can also negatively impact secondary processes such as painting, coating, or electroplating. Today, we will take a deep dive in...

The Science and Strength of PPS: A Deep Dive into Polyphenylene Sulfide
2025-07-21
Introduction Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic engineering polymer composed of alternating benzene rings and sulfur atoms in its molecular backbone, with the structural formula -[Ph-S]n- (Ph representing a phenyl ring). This unique combination of rigidity and stability has earned PPS the nickname “Plastic Gold.” PPS Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Four Core Properties of ...
