Eliminate Molded Parts Whitening
Causes of molded parts whitening
Demould force (bad demoulding)
Excessive loads
Associate knowledge about whitening
Same reason with reticular fracture.
If not well demolded, the release pin will apply excessive force resulting in molded plastics whitening.
Whitening refers to stress whitening. We can see from the stress yield curve and crack white perception that it indeed to the energy expended. Just add a little energy will crack after whitening. (Figure A)
Solutions
Immediately: Reduce injection pressure.
Short-term: Improve injection mould cavity smooth finish.
Long-term: Demoulding slope should be enough, and the release pin should be arrangement balance.
Differences in materials
ABS material is prone to be whitening.
Material with low flow ability is easy to produce welding scar in the injection moulding process.

- In the post processing of ABS (cold processing), we should take into account the phenomenon of molded parts whitening.
- Since the release agent produced welding scar can be easily separated, it must be absolutely avoided.
- General welding scar should not have particularly weak areas, but in reality, damage is often occurring around the welding scar.
- Welding scar and crack can be distinguished when coated with ink on the molded parts.
- The welding scar is also prone to flash. This states the material pressure achieve a higher degree near the welding scar. Because of this, sink mark is rarely occur in the welding scar.
