Silver streaks caused by moisture during EAA processing
Problem Phenomenon
White silver streaks appear on the surface of EAA injection molded products
Cause Analysis
Raw material contains moisture >0.05%, which vaporizes during high-temperature processing to form bubbles that are stretched into silver streaks; insufficient drying or condensed moisture in the hopper
Solution
1) Dry the raw material at 80°C for 3-4h to moisture content <0.02%; 2) Increase the back pressure by 0.5-1MPa for venting; 3) Reduce the injection speed to avoid air entrainment; 4) Heat the hopper to prevent condensed moisture
Key Takeaway
Silver streaks are caused by moisture vaporization and stretching; drying and venting are the main countermeasures
