PVC Flow Mark
Problem Phenomenon
Wavy flow marks on PVC product surface
Cause Analysis
The melt front cools quickly and flows unstably, and PVC's high viscosity aggravates flow marks; during on-site troubleshooting, verify item by item according to this mechanism to avoid blindly adjusting the machine based only on experience; this mechanism has been repeatedly verified by industry data and should be confirmed first during troubleshooting
Solution
Increase melt temperature and speed; appropriately raise mold temperature; improve gate position; after adjustment, continuously sample to verify the effect, and resume mass production after confirming stability; change only one variable at a time and record parameter changes to facilitate locating effective measures
Key Takeaway
Flow marks are improved by raising both temperature and speed; after confirming effectiveness, fix the parameters and practices into the work instruction to prevent recurrence; include this case in the defect archive as a troubleshooting reference for similar problems in the future
