Injection molded surface peeling phenomenon, the cause is the recipe for injection molded parts (Including additives and color powder) Incomplete fusion or exclusion after fragmentation.

	Troubleshooting	Recommendations to resolve
Injection molding machine	1. Melt temperature is too high.	Reduce the melt temperature.
	2. Mold filling speed is too fast.	Reduce the injection speed.
	3. Screw rotation speed is insufficient.	Increase the speed of rotation of the screw.
Mold	Mold temperature is insufficient.	Increase the mold temperature.
Plastic	1. Plastics enters the warm workshop, moisture condenses on the cold plastic.	Dry the plastic according to correct procedures.
	2. Color particle or additives cannot fully integrated or excluse.	Replace another particle or additives
