Burned or Scorched Parts: Polymer may be becoming trapped and degrading in the injection nozzle. Melt temperature may be too high. Cycle time may be too long allowing the resin to overheat.

Surface Imperfections: Melt temperature may be too high causing resin decomposition and gas evolution (bubbles). Excessive moisture in the resin. Low pressure causing incomplete filling of mold.

Incomplete Cavity Filling: Injection stroke may be too small for mold (i.e. not enough resin is being injected). Injection speed may be too slow causing freezing before mold is filled.

Warpage of Parts: Non-uniform wall thickness of mold design. Uneven surface temperature of the molds.
