Post-shrinkage of PBT injection molded parts
Problembeschreibung
PBT products continue to shrink after demolding, the size keeps changing, affecting assembly accuracy.
Ursachenanalyse
PBT cools quickly in the mold and crystallization is incomplete; after demolding, crystallization continues at ambient temperature (post-crystallization), accompanied by volume shrinkage.
Lösung
Ensure the mold temperature is high enough (80-120°C) for sufficient crystallization; extend the cooling time; anneal at 120°C/1-2h after molding.
Wichtigste Erkenntnis
The root cause of PBT post-shrinkage is incomplete crystallization; mold temperature and annealing are the control means.
