Jetting is caused during injection of the melt into the cavity. If the distance between the gate and
the opposite cavity wall or other obstacles is too long the melt develops a "sausage" like flow where
the outer layers cool off faster. The result is a "sausage" like pattern on the surface of the moulding.

Warpage is caused by differential shrinkage due to different molecular orientation and / or varying
wall thicknesses in the product. It is therefore important to maintain a uniform mould temperature
and avoid Hot - or Cold - spots on the mould surface. In crystalline polymers the formation of
crystalline structures can also cause warpage.

•Change part design. Thin areas of the mold may not fill
completely, especially if there is a thick to thin transition, or
there is a long rib that cannot be vented very well. If the part
design allows it, change in these areas can improve the situation.

Poor surface finish The quality of the surface finish of a moulding is determined by
several factors. Provided the cavity surface is in good condition, moisture, contamination
with a foreign polymer and of course processing condition determine the quality of the
reproduction of the cavity surface.

Gate blush A Blush in the gate area can have several causes, the polymer might not be as dry as
required or the shear stress during the injection phase exceeds the permissible limit. Even sharp
edges or corners in the gate area can cause excessive shear stress. A common cause of gate

Black Spots, Brown streaks
Description
Black spots and brown streaks appear as dark spots or streaks in the molded
part and are usually caused by thermal damage to the melt.
Possible Solutions
•Check the material for contamination.
•Decrease the melt temperature.
•Decrease the overall cycle time.
•Purge and/or clean the screw and barrel.
•Decrease the screw speed. High screw speeds may cause the material
to degrade.
•Material may have too much regrind content.
•Material may be overdried.Decrease drying time/temperature. Refer to
drying instructions provided by the material supplier.
•Material may be prone to thermal degradation. It may be necessary to
use a more thermally stable material.
•Dead spots may be occurring, ensure that the alignment between the
machine nozzle and mold sprue is correct.
•Residence time may be too long, or the shot size may be too small for
the machine. It may be necessary to move the mold to a machine with
less injection capacity.
Blisters (Air Entrapment)
Description
Blisters are hollows created on or in the molded part. In contrast to a
void (vacuum) this entrapped gas can also appear near the walls.
Possible Solutions
•Decrease melt temperature.
•Decrease screw speed.
•Dry material.
•Increase back pressure.
•Increase mold temperature.
•Ensure regrind is not too coarse.
•Provide additional mold vents.
•Relocate gate.
Brittleness
Description
Brittleness is a condition where the part cracks or breaks at a much
lower stress level than would normally be expected based on the
virgin material properties.
Possible Solutions
•Check for material contamination.
•Decrease amount of regrind use.
•Decrease back pressure.
•Decrease injection pressure.
•Decrease screw speed.
•Increase melt temperature.
•Dry material. Refer to the drying instructions provided by the
material supplier.
Bubbles
Description
Bubbles are similar to blisters in that there is air
entrapped in the molded part.
Possible Solutions
•Decrease injection speed.
•Decrease injection temperature.
•Dry material further.
•Increase injection pressure.
•Increase number and/or size of vents.
•Increase shot size.
Burn Marks, Dieseling
Description
Burn Marks or Dieseling show up on the finish molded parts as charred or
dark plastic caused by trapped gas and is usually accompanied by a distinctive
burnt smell.
Note: If this problem is allowed to continue without fixing the root cause it
will very quickly cause damage to the molding surface.
Possible Solutions
•Alter gate position and/or increase gate size.
•Check for heater malfunction.
•Decrease booster time.
•Decrease injection pressure.
•Decrease injection speed.
•Decrease melt and/or mold temperature.
•Improve mold cavity venting. Vents may become smaller over time due
to wear and they will need to be brought back to their original depth.
•Reduce clamp force to improve venting. Vents may become smaller
because they are being crushed by the clamping force. If it is possible to
reduce the clamping force without causing flash then this should be done.
Note: This is always good practice to minimize wear on the mold and
machine. Improve venting at the burn location. Burn marks often occur on
deep ribs that have no venting. If possible it may be helpful to put an
ejector pin or sleeve at the burnt area to allow the trapped gas to escape
to atmosphere.
Cracking, Crazing
Description
Cracking or Crazing is caused by high internal molded in stress or by
an external force imposed upon the part. They can also be caused by
an incompatible external chemical being applied to the finished parts
The cracks often don't appear until days or weeks after the parts
have been molded.
Possible Solutions
•Decrease injection pressure.
•Dry material.
•Increase cylinder temperature.
•Increase mold temperature.
•Increase nozzle temperature.
•Modify injection speed.
•If the material is partially crystalline then it may help to reduce
the mold and/or melt temperature.
•If the material is amorphous then it may help to increase the
mold and/or melt temperature.
Delamination
Description
Delamination occurs when single surface layers start flaking off the
molded part.
Possible Solutions
•Adjust injection speed.
•Check for material contamination. Incompatible resins or
colorants may have been accidently mixed causing this condition
to be seen.
•Dry material.
•Increase melt temperature.
•Increase mold temperature.
•Insufficient Blending. Check melt homogeneity and plasticizing
performance.
Discoloration
Description
Discoloration is similar to burn marks or brown streaks but generally
not as dark or severe. It may cause the part to be a darker shade
than the virgin pellets and is often found nearest the gate area,
however it can also appear as
dark streaks throughout the part.
Possible Solutions
•Check hopper and feed zone for contamination.
•Decrease back pressure.
•Decrease melt temperature.
•Decrease nozzle temperature.
•Move mold to smaller shot-size press.
•Provide additional vents in mold.
•Purge heating cylinder.
•Shorten overall cycle.
Flow, Halo, Blush Marks
Description
Flow, Halo, Blush Marks are marks seen on the part due to flow of
the molten plastic across the molding surface.
Possible Solutions
•Decrease injection speed.
•Increase cold slug area in size or number.
•Increase injection pressure.
•Increase melt temperature.
•Increase mold temperature.
•Increase nozzle temperature.
•Increase size of sprue/runner/gate.
Gate Stringing, Drooling
Description
The part does not break cleanly from the gate area.
Possible Solutions
•Insufficient cooling time during the cycle.
•Excessive heat in the gate area. Check thermocouple
in the nozzle or decrease the temperature of the hot
runner manifold and nozzle.
•Increase cooling at the gate area.Ensure that you
have controllable turbulent flow in the gate area.
Material Leakage
Description
Material Leakage is usually caused by material forces overcoming the
structural strength of the mold.
NOTE: One sign that indicates that material has leaked is that the
manifold reaches processing temperature very slowly.
Possible Solutions
•Manifold locator is oversize.
•Processing temperature may be too low causing increased
pressure in the manifold.
•Manifold locator may be hobbed into the mold. Decrease the
force applied to the nozzle pad by the machine then repair the
damaged area, then check and if necessary replace the locator.
•Insufficient number of mold assembly screws. Ensure that the
quantity, type of screw, and the location of the screws correspond
to the general assembly drawing.
•Nozzle may have overheated causing damage to the seal or
gate. Check/replace the thermocouple in the nozzle, then check
and if necessary repair the nozzle well area.
•Manifold may have overheated. Check and replace if necessary
the following components; nozzle well area, thermocouple, valve
disks, sprue disks, or pressure disks.
Oversized Part
Description
Part is too large when compared to the drawing
specifications.
Possible Solutions
•Decrease booster time.
•Decrease cylinder temperature.
•Decrease holding pressure.
•Decrease injection pressure.
•Decrease injection speed.
•Decrease overall cycle time.
•Increase gate size and/or change gate location.
•Increase mold temperature.
Part Sticking
Description
Part is getting not pulling out of the cavity and in rarer circumstances
cannot be ejected off the core.
Possible Solutions
•Check mold for undercuts and/or insufficient draft.
•Decrease booster time.
•Decrease cylinder and nozzle temperature.
•Decrease injection pressure.
•Decrease injection-hold.
•Decrease mold cavity temperature.
•Increase clamp pressure.
•Increase mold-close time.
•Texturing on part is too deep. The parts may stick in the cavity if
a new texture or a retexturing has been performed on the cavity
half of the mold.
•If possible add undercuts to the core to allow the part to pull out
of the cavity.
Short Shot (Incomplete Filled Parts)
Description
Short Shots occur when the part does not completely fill.
Possible Solutions
•Increase back pressure.
•Increase injection pressure.
•Increase injection speed.
•Increase melt temperature.
•Increase mold temperature.
•Increase nozzle temperature. Ensure that the manifold and
nozzles have reached the set temperature.
•Increase shot size and confirm cushion.
•Make sure mold is vented correctly and vents are clear.
•Confirm that the non-return valve used is not leaking
excessively.
•Increase the switch over pressure, distance, or time (whichever
method is being used) point from fill to hold so the fill stage is
used longer.
•Change part design. Thin areas of the mold may not fill
completely, especially if there is a thick to thin transition, or
there is a long rib that cannot be vented very well. If the part
design allows it, change in these areas can improve the situation.
Splay Marks, Silver Streaks
Description
Splay Marks, Silver Streaks are usually caused by water vapor
blisters at the flow front burst and freeze on the wall of the molding
surface.
Possible Solutions
•Check for contamination.
•Decrease melt temperature.
•Decrease nozzle temperature.
•Dry resin pellets before use. As per the manufacturers
recommendations.
•Incorrect storage of pellets. Moisture on the pellets could be
transferred into the melt, especially if the resin is not normally
pre-dried.
•Raise mold temperature. This will prevent condensation on the
mold walls from being carried into the melt.
•Ensure the mold is not leaking water onto the cores or cavities.
Again this will prevent condensation on the mold walls from being
carried into the melt.
•Relocate gates on or as near as possible to thick sections.
•Shorten overall cycle.
Undersized Part
Description
Part is too small when compared to the drawing
specifications.
Possible Solutions
•Decrease mold temperature.
•Increase booster time.
•Increase cylinder temperature.
•Increase hold-time.
•Increase holding pressure.
•Increase injection pressure.
•Increase injection speed.
•Inspect mold for surface defects.
Weld Lines
Description
Weld Lines are created when two or more melt flow fronts
meet possibly causing a cosmetically visible line. It can
also create a weakened area in the finished molded part
especially with filled resins.
Possible Solutions
•Increase injection pressure.
•Increase injection speed.
•Increase injection hold.
•Increase melt temperature.
•Increase mold temperature.
•Make sure part contains no sharp variation in cross-
sections.
•Vent cavity in the weld area.
