Technical question 7. Why can't the thickness of the plastic product change easily when the mold remains the same?

Although it is not common in the production of plastic products that customers want to change the thickness of the product without changing the mold, this problem still troubles some customers. Why can't the thickness of the plastic product change easily when the mold remains the same? Today we will explain this issue in a simple way.

There are many methods for plastic production, such as injection molding, blow molding, extrusion blow molding and so on. In the process of plastic production, the thickness of the material is not only limited to the desirable range of mold processing, but also the properties of the material.

Due to the high cost of mold modification or reprocessing, after discovering that there is a problem with the product matching, the customer will propose to thin or thicken the existing thickness of the product in order to match the product. We understand the way to reduce the cost.

However, no matter the thickness is determined by the processing value in production, it can be adjusted appropriately within a reasonable range of thinning or thickening. If you break the reasonable range, too thin will easily cause short shots of the material, and too thick will cause the product to fail to demold.
