Burn mark

    Table of contents
    No headers

    A defect that appears as a brown or black mark on the surface of a plastic part.

    A burn mark can be caused by an unvented air trap, which occurs when the trapped air is heated very quickly during compression and the surrounding plastic is burned.

    Ram speed profiling, which gives air more time to escape from the mold, is often used to prevent this problem.
