How to control color difference during the production of injection molding precision parts?

Publish Time: 2024-10-15
1. Selection and management of raw materials

In the production of injection molding precision parts, the selection of raw materials is crucial. First of all, plastic raw materials with stable quality and consistent color should be selected. There may be color differences between different batches of raw materials, so make sure to purchase from reliable suppliers and require suppliers to provide strict quality control reports. During the storage of raw materials, attention should be paid to moisture, sun protection, and high temperature protection to avoid color differences caused by changes in raw material properties due to environmental factors. At the same time, the raw materials should be numbered and managed so that they can be quickly traced back to specific batches when color difference problems occur.

2. Optimization of injection molding process parameters

Injection molding process parameters also have a great influence on the color difference of parts. Temperature is a key factor, including barrel temperature, nozzle temperature, mold temperature, etc. Too high or too low temperature may cause the color of plastic to change. For example, too high temperature may cause the plastic to decompose and discolor; too low temperature may cause uneven plasticization of plastic, which will also affect the color. In addition, parameters such as injection pressure, injection speed, and holding time also need to be adjusted reasonably. Appropriate process parameters can ensure that the plastic is evenly heated, plasticized and filled during the injection molding process, thereby reducing the occurrence of color difference.

3. Mold design and maintenance

The design and maintenance of the mold also play an important role in color difference control. The gate position, size and shape of the mold will affect the flow and filling of the plastic, thereby affecting the uniformity of the color. Reasonable gate design can make the plastic flow more evenly in the mold, reduce local overheating or overcooling, and reduce the risk of color difference. At the same time, the mold should be cleaned and maintained regularly to prevent problems such as dirt and wear on the mold surface from affecting the color of the parts. For example, scratches on the mold surface may cause uneven flow of plastic during filling, resulting in color difference.

4. Quality inspection and adjustment

In the production process, a strict quality inspection system should be established. Use a professional colorimeter to perform color inspection on Injection molding precision parts to detect color difference problems in time. If the color difference is found to be beyond the allowable range, the cause should be analyzed and adjusted in time. The color difference problem can be solved by adjusting the raw materials, process parameters or molds. At the same time, the adjusted products should be re-tested to ensure that the color difference is effectively controlled. In addition, color standard samples can be established for comparison and reference during the production process to ensure the consistency of product color.

In summary, in the production process of Injection molding precision parts, by rationally selecting raw materials, optimizing injection molding process parameters, designing and maintaining molds, and strengthening quality inspection, color difference can be effectively controlled and product quality can be improved.
