PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Excessive Shrink Too much orientation • Increase packing time and pressure
• Increase hold pressure
• Decrease melt temperature
• Decrease mold temperature
• Decrease injection speed
• Decrease screw rpm
• Increase venting
• Increase cooling time
Not Enough Shrink Too little orientation • Decrease packing pressure and time
• Decrease hold pressure
• Increase melt temperature
• Increase mold temperature
• Increase injection speed
• Increase screw rpm
• Decrease cooling time

to parting line
• Increase cushion
Brittleness Melt temperature too low
Degraded/Overheated material
Gate location and/or size
• Increase melt temperature
• Increase injection speed
• Measure melt temperature with pyrometer
• Decrease melt temperature

• Relocate gate to nonstress area
• Increase gate size to allow higher flow speed and lower
molded-in stress
Fibers on Surface
(Splay)
Melt temperature too low
Insufficient packing
• Increase melt temperature
• Increase mold temperature
• Increase injection speed
• Increase pack and hold pressure, and time
Sink Marks Part geometry too thick
