Incomplete Fill Melt and/or mold temperature too cold • Increase nozzle and barrel temperatures • Check thermocouples and heater bands Shot size • Increase shot size • Adjust transfer position to 98% full • Increase cushion • Enlarge or widen vents and increase number of vents • Check that vents are unplugged • Check that gates are unplugged • Enlarge gates and/or runners • Perform short shots to determine fill pattern and verify proper vent location • Increase wall thickness to move gas trap to parting line Brittleness Degraded/overheated material • Decrease melt temperature • Decrease back pressure • Use smaller barrel Gate location and/or size • Relocate gate to non-stress area • Increase gate size to allow higher flow rate and lower molded-in stress Wet material • Check moisture. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Find out how Avient’s solutions are helping to help meet Germany’s ambitious sustainability targets for a plastics circular economy Additionally, new minimum recycled content thresholds will mean that from 2025 there will be a sales ban on PET bottles containing less than 25% recycled plastics, increasing to 30% in 2030. This high-tech facility is helping us to understand the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process to see how and where problems occur.
