In injection molding factories, color requirements are highly technical. Proper control of color during the injection mold processing is crucial to avoid color mixing or mismatches. Based on its experience, DAYIN Plastics shares some key tips for controlling color in injection mold processing.
Key Tips for Controlling Color in Injection Mold Processing:
- Control Barrel Temperature: Temperature fluctuations in the barrel can directly affect color consistency. Common issues include faulty heating bands or malfunctioning temperature control, leading to significant temperature changes. Regular inspection and maintenance of heating equipment are essential to ensure stable temperatures and minimize color variations.
- Eliminate the Impact of Injection Machine and Mold Factors: Choosing an injection machine that matches the capacity of the primary product is critical. If the machine has issues like material dead spots, replacing the equipment is recommended. Additionally, parts of the mold, such as the gating system and venting channels, that may cause color variations should be repaired. Resolving these machine and mold issues ensures smoother production and reduces complexity.
Control the Quality of Raw Materials: The selection of raw materials is key to addressing color variations. This is especially important when producing light-colored products, as the thermal stability of the resin can significantly impact the product’s color. Since most injection molding manufacturers do not produce plastic raw materials or colorants themselves, the focus should be on production management and raw material inspection to ensure consistency and quality.
