Q

PVC Injection Weak Weld Line

A

PVC weld line = 'temperature + venting + anti-degradation': PVC melt has high elasticity and converges with difficulty, temperature and venting must be given sufficiently, and more importantly prevent degraded flow front from making the weld line brittle.

Q

PVC Injection Flash

A

PVC flash 'also beware of degradation-induced viscosity drop': degradation makes PVC suddenly thin and flash; besides reducing pressure and increasing clamping, check back whether thermal degradation caused abnormal viscosity.

Q

PVC Injection Short Shot

A

PVC short shot = 'the pressure-temperature account of high viscosity': raise temperature and pressure within the safe window; PVC is heat-sensitive, heating must be cautious — large gates and venting are often safer and more effective than forced heating.

Q

PVC Foam Board Uneven Cells

A

PVC foam board = 'rhythm matching of plasticization and foaming': foaming agent decomposition and plasticization progress must be synchronized; temperature field uniformity and foam regulator are the two pillars of uniform cells.

Q

PVC Cable Compound Color Drift

A

PVC cable compound color difference = 'heat history management': PVC base color drifts with heat history, color matching should reserve for base color change; batch consistency is the lifeline of cable compound.

Molding Process PVC; cable compound; color difference; heat history; stabilizer

Q

PVC Wire and Cable Compound Surface Particles

A

PVC cable compound particles = 'dispersion + filtration': filler dispersion and screen integrity are the two key passes; cable compound has high surface smoothness requirements, dispersion and filtration must both be in place.

Processing Machinery PVC; cable compound; particle; dispersion; screen pack

Q

PVC Film Gel and Specks

A

PVC film surface spots = 'plasticization + dispersion + dead corners': plasticization and additive dispersion are the main line, dead corner burnt material is the hidden danger; film has the highest uniformity requirement, plasticization must be excessive.

Q

PVC Transparent Sheet Gel Particles

A

PVC transparent sheet gel particles = 'resin fish-eyes + plasticization': many fish-eyes in the resin itself and insufficient plasticization are the two sources; transparent sheet must be controlled from both resin selection and plasticization process.

Production & Quality PVC; transparent sheet; gel particle; fish-eye; resin

Q

PVC Profile Dimension Fluctuation

A

PVC profile dimension fluctuation = 'extrusion + haul-off + calibration' three-stability problem: first stabilize extrusion output, then synchronize haul-off, finally calibrate the calibration; the matching degree of the three determines dimensional accuracy.

Extrusion & Post PVC; profile; dimension fluctuation; haul-off; vacuum calibration

Q

PVC Profile Surface Streaks

A

PVC streaks = 'die condition + plasticization uniformity': buildup shedding, die damage, poor plasticization are the three sources; the regularity of streaks can infer whether it is periodic buildup or persistent damage.

Extrusion & Post PVC; profile; streak; die; plasticization
