3. Measures to avoid of parting-line flash

  • Eliminate mold gaps
  • Clean the mold
  • Attach a gas vent to the sprue and runners
  • Degas just below the sprue part and at the runner end.
  • Increase the air vent near the final filling part of the product part.
  • Lower injection pressure
  • Increase mold clamping force
  • Proper supply amount
  • Adjust the cylinder temperature to an appropriate temperature
  • Make the pressure holding time appropriate
  • Slow the injection speed
  • By increasing the number of vents, the internal pressure is reduced and burr is prevented.
  • By taking good venting measures with the mold, there is no air resistance in the mold and molding at low pressure is possible.
