In order for the injection molding process to proceed smoothly and the resulting product to be of good quality, it is necessary to ensure the appropriate parameters during the implementation of each injection molding cycle.
An important element of the plastic injection molding process is duration. That is, the time that the plastic remains in the mold under high pressure while solidifying. Usually it is from a few seconds to about twenty. Most often, this time depends on the type of material, as well as the size and weight of the product.
Too short a pressure may cause the surface of the product to collapse or cause other damage. Leaving the material for too long is not beneficial. High pressure that is maintained for a very long time can cause the material to be over-sealed and make it difficult to remove the product from the mold cavity.
