Why do plastic products age and become brittle?

In people's daily life, there is a phenomenon that plastic cups, plastic pots, plastic buckets and other plastic products will become aging and become brittle when used for a long time. What is the reason for this? In fact, this is closely related to the five aspects of mold, equipment, raw materials, technology and design. The following plastic mesh industry website - Jiuzhi Plastics Network will take everyone to see the specific content of these five aspects:

First, the mold aspect
(1) If the gate is too small, consider adjusting the gate size or adding an auxiliary gate.
(2) If the runner is too small or improperly configured, it should be balanced as much as possible or the size of the runner should be increased.
(3) Poor mold structure causes abnormal injection cycle.
Second, the equipment aspect
(1) There are dead corners or obstacles in the barrel, which can easily promote the degradation of the melt.
(2) The plasticizing capacity of the machine is too small, the plastic is not plasticized in the barrel; the plasticizing capacity of the machine is too large, the plastic is heated and sheared for too long in the barrel, the plastic is easy to age, and the product is changed. brittle.
(3) The ejector unit is inclined or unbalanced, and the top sectional area is small or improperly distributed.
Third, raw materials
(1) When the raw material is mixed with other impurities or is doped with an inappropriate or excessive amount of a solvent or other additives.
(2) Some plastics, such as ABS, will undergo catalytic cracking reaction with water vapor when heated under damp conditions, causing large strain on the part.
(3) If the number of plastic regenerations is too high or the content of recycled materials is too high, or the heating time in the barrel is too long, the parts will be brittle.
(4) The quality of the plastic itself is not good, for example, the molecular weight distribution is large, and the composition of the non-uniform structure such as the rigid molecular chain is excessively occupied; or it is contaminated by other plastics, the contamination of the bad additive, the pollution of dust impurities, etc. the reason.
Fourth, the process aspects
(1) The temperature of the barrel and nozzle is too low, and it is raised. If the material is easily degraded, the temperature of the barrel and nozzle should be increased.
(2) Reduce the pre-plastic back pressure and speed of the screw to make the material slightly loose and reduce the degradation of the plastic due to shearing and overheating.
(3) The mold temperature is too high, the demoulding is difficult; the mold temperature is too low, the plastic is prematurely cooled, the fusion joint is poorly fused, and cracking is easy, especially for high melting point plastics such as polycarbonate.
(4) The cavity core should have a proper draft angle. When the core is difficult to demould, it is necessary to increase the cavity temperature and shorten the cooling time. When the cavity is difficult to remove, reduce the cavity temperature and extend the cooling time.
(5) Minimize the use of metal inserts, brittle hot and cold plastics such as polystyrene, and can not be added to insert molding.
Five, product design
(1) The product has sharp corners, notches or portions having a large difference in thickness which are prone to stress cracking.
(2) The product design is too thin or too hollow.
Plastic products bring a lot of convenience to people's lives, and our lives are inseparable from plastics. Although it also has many defects, we must believe that the plastics industry can develop more perfect and convenient plastic products in the future.
