Sink mark

    Table of contents
    No headers

    A visual defect on the surface of a molded part.

    Sink marks are caused by a differential in volumetric shrinkage. They typically occur on the opposite sides of surfaces to which ribs or bosses are attached, and in significantly thicker areas of parts where the volumetric shrinkage is not adequately compensated during the packing phase.
