They’ve put a lot of bulky metal, glass, and stone out of work since they came on the scene in a big way back in the 1950s. Other keys to molding electrically conductive compounds are slow injection speeds and low back pressure (e.g., 50 psi).1 Use 50 percent to 75 percent of the injection pressure for the pack and hold pressure.

Draft Angle • Maintain a minimum draft angle of 1° per side. PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Incomplete Fill Melt and/or mold temperature too cold • Increase nozzle and barrel temperatures • Increase mold temperature • Increase injection rate • Check thermocouples and heater bands Shot size • Increase shot size • Adjust transfer position to 98% full • Increase cushion Mold design • Enlarge or widen vents and increase number of vents • Check that vents are unplugged • Check that gates are unplugged • Enlarge gates and/or runners • Perform short shots to determine fill pattern and verify proper vent location • Increase wall thickness to move gas trap to parting line Brittleness Degraded/overheated material • Decrease melt temperature • Decrease back pressure • Use smaller barrel • Decrease injection speed Gate location and/or size • Relocate gate to non-stress area • Increase gate size to allow higher flow rate and lower molded-in stress Wet material • Check moisture.

If you are producing 1 million pounds of plastisol annually, you are also losing 1,300 pounds of resin into the air. That is enough resin to fill a compact car.
