Glass Fibre internal coarse crystallization
Problem Phenomenon
Glass Fibre product internal spherulites >50μm coarse, causing transparency drop and low impact
Cause Analysis
Cooling rate too slow <5°C/min allows spherulites to fully grow; no nucleating agent used to control crystallization
Solution
1) Raise cooling rate to >20°C/min to refine spherulites; 2) add 0.2-0.3wt% nucleating agent to control crystallization; 3) lower mold temperature to accelerate cooling
Key Takeaway
Coarse crystallization is caused by slow cooling; fast cooling and nucleating agent are key
