Some common problems after adding color masterbatch

1. The temperature of the injection molding equipment is not well controlled, and the color master cannot be thoroughly mixed with the resin after entering the mixing chamber.

2. The injection molding machine does not add a certain back pressure, and the screw mixing effect is not good.

3. The dispersibility of the color masterbatch is not good or the resin is not plasticized. The process can be debugged as follows:

(1). The temperature of the mixing chamber is slightly raised by the drop port portion.

(2). Apply a certain back pressure to the injection molding machine.

If it is still not good after the above debugging, it may be the dispersibility or matching problem of the color masterbatch and the resin, and should be solved by contacting the masterbatch manufacturer.

After using a certain color masterbatch, the product appears to be more easily broken. This may be due to poor diffusion and miscibility caused by the poor quality of the dispersant or auxiliary agent selected by the manufacturer, which affects the physical and mechanical properties of the product. After using the ratio on the color master specification, the color is too deep (too shallow). Although the problem is simple, there are many possibilities, specifically:

1. The color master has not been carefully tested, and the pigment is too little or too much;

2. The measurement is inaccurate when used, and there are a large number of phenomena that domestic enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, measure at will;

3. There is a problem with the matching of the color masterbatch and the resin. This may be due to improper selection of the carrier of the masterbatch, or it may be that the manufacturer randomly changes the resin type;

4. The temperature of the machine is not good, and the color master stays in the machine for too long.

Processing procedure: First check whether the resin type matches the color masterbatch, whether the metering is accurate, and then adjust the machine temperature or speed. If there is still a problem, contact the masterbatch manufacturer. The same color masterbatch, resin and formulation, why the products injected by different injection molding machines have a dark color? This is often caused by the injection molding machine. Different injection molding machines have different mechanical conditions due to different manufacturing, use time or maintenance conditions, especially the difference in the degree of adhesion between the heating element and the barrel, so that the dispersion state of the color master in the barrel is also different. A phenomenon will appear.

After changing the resin of another brand, the color of the same color masterbatch and formula has changed. Why is this? The density and melt index of different grades of resin will be different, so the performance of the resin will be different, and the masterbatch The compatibility will also be different, so that the color change occurs. Generally speaking, as long as the density and the melt index are not much different, the difference in color will not be too large, and the color can be corrected by adjusting the amount of the masterbatch. Does the phenomenon of pigment migration during color storage affect the quality of the product? Some colorants have a high pigment content (or dye), and in this case, migration is normal. Especially the color masterbatch with dye added, serious migration will occur. However, this does not affect the quality of the product, because after the color master is injected into the product, the pigment is in a normal color development concentration in the product.

Why are some injection products not shiny enough? There are many possibilities:

1. The nozzle temperature of the injection molding machine is too low

2. The mold finish of the injection molding machine is not good.

3. The molding cycle of the product is too long

4. Too much titanium dioxide contained in the masterbatch

5. The dispersion of the masterbatch is not good.

After a period of time, some plastic products will be fading. The basic pigments used by the manufacturers are of poor quality and drift. Why is ABS color master particularly prone to color differences?

Different brands of ABS produced by different countries have large color difference. Even if the same brand of ABS, there may be chromatic aberration in each batch of batch numbers. Of course, color difference will also occur after coloring. This is due to the characteristics of ABS, and there is no thorough solution in the world. However, this color difference is generally not serious. Users must pay attention to this feature of ABS when using ABS color masterbatch.
