SCOPE This specification addresses the cosmetic quality of molded plastic parts and related post molding activities. Page 1 Version AO The Society of the Plastics Industry Cosmetic Specifications of Injection Molded Parts I DEFECT DEFINITIONS BLEEDING (paint or decoration) Evidence of one color overlaping or altering another color (painting). Speading of pigment beyond the intended boudries (silk screen, printing), BLUSH Discoloration or change in gloss. Generally occurring at gate locations or abrupt, changes in wall thickness. BROKEN General damage. For example bent and/or broken tabs or ribs. BUBBLES Void pockets, typically seen only in transparent parts, May appear as a bulge or protrusion in an opaque part. BURNS Brown marks or streaks. (Also see gas marks.) COLD SLUG First material to enter mold during injection. Solid or semi-solid, this material leaves a distinct border with adjacent melted material similar in appearence to. weldlines. Page 2 © 1994 The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. Version AThe Society of the Plastics Industry Cosmetic Specifications of Injection Molded Parts CONTAMINATION Large areas of discoloration from foreign matter or foreign material embedded in the surface of a part. CRACKING Stress induced splitting or fissures causing separation of material CRAZING Miltiple tiny cracks due to stress exerted on the part. DELAMINATION Separation (peeling) of layers of plastic DISCOLORATION Any change from the original color standard. Unintended, inconsistent color. DRAG MARKS. Clusters of scratches from plastic dragging against mold details when a partis ejected from a mold EILL-INS (print or silk screen) ‘An excessive use of ink that alters the form of screened or printed feature. Placement of ink where no ink should be. Page 3 © 1994 The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. Version AThe Society of the Plastics Industry Cosmetic Specifications of Injection Molded Parts ELASH Excess plastic at parting line or mating surface of the mold. Normally very thin and flat protrusion of plastic along an edge of a part. Can also appear as a very thin string or thread of plastic away from the edge of a part (string flash). Often found at vents, knock outs and other shut-off areas. FLOW MARKS (paint or silk screen) Waviness of edge or excessive linear junction between two surfaces of ink or paint, GAS MARKS Dark discolored streaks caused by incomplete venting of gases generated during the molding cycle. UGE ‘Surface imperfection due to abrasion that removes small amounts of material. ‘Depth is measurable. GREASE Any type of machine lubrication on the surface of a part. HAZE Cloudiness on an otherwise transparent part. Page 4 © 1994 The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. Version AThe Society of the Plastics Industry Cosmetic Specifications of Injection Molded Parts INSERT PROBLEMS (Not a true "cosmetic" defect. More functional than cosmetic) Errors related to the installation of inserts into plastic parts. Inserts can be set too high or too low in a socket or boss. They can also be damaged or misaligned and may even be missing. JETTING See splay. LINT (paint) ‘Any unintended foreign substance in the coating or on the surface. MARBLING Colored streaks caused by incomplete mixing of 2 different colored plastics. Also referred to as streaking NICKS: Like gouges but of short length. Cause by impact rather than abrasion, NON-ADHESION (painted or decorated)) Lack of adequate sticking of paint, print or any coating to the plastic surface. ORANGE PEEL Rippled or mottled appearance view able as concentric lines. Caused by under- pressurizing. Orange peel is often the first sign of possible sink or shorting. Page 5 © 1994 The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. Version AThe Society of the Plastics Industry Cosmetic Specifications of Injection Molded Parts PIN PUSH Protrusion or distortion caused by an ejector pin pushing into part more than normal. The protrusion is most evident on the surface opposite the ejector pin. PITTING Crater-like imperfections on the surface of the part, PULLING Part distortion caused from plastic catching in the mold when the part is ejected. RUNS (painting or printing) Dripping or sagging of paint or ink. Movement of ink beyond intended surfaces. Usually caused by too much or too thick paint or ink. SCRATCH Surface imperfection due to abrasion that removes small amounts of material Depth is not measurable. Differs from scratch in mold which leaves a consistent mark, ‘SHINE Glossy or shiny areas on textured surface. Usually caused by a dirty or worn ‘mold. Can also be caused by lack of sufficient pressure to properly replicate texture in the mold. Page 6 © 1994 The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. Version A.The Society of the Plastics Industry Cosmetic Specifications of Injection Molded Parts SHORTS (Short shot, non-fill) Missing plastic due to incomplete filing of the mold cavity. Parts are not completely formed. Can usually be identified by smooth, shiny and rounded surfaces. SINK ‘Surface depression caused by non uniform material solidification and shrinkage. Most often noted at interface between differing wall thicknesses. SMEARING (paint or ink) Similar to bleeding. Excess ink or paint in areas that should be free of ink or paint. ‘Smearing is due to rubbing of surface before adequately dried. SPECKS Small discolored points of matter embedded in the surface. Typically black, caused by material contamination or material degradation. SPLAY Off colored streaking. Usually appears silver-like. Splay is caused by moisture in the material or thermal degradation of the resin during processing. A similar look ‘can be caused by cold material skipping across the surface during a fast fill. This is commonly called "jetting" WELDLINES Witness line where 2 or more fronts of molten plastic converge. Also called kaitlines or flowlines, Page 7 © 1994 The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. ‘Version AThe Society of the Plastics Industry Cosmetic Specifications of Injection Molded Parts I. SURFACE IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF SURFACE FINISH A. SURFACE FINISH GRADE 1 - ‘+ Highly polished: (e.g. SPI - B1 or lower). ‘+ Clear transparent. + Fluid contact - (primarily applies to medical parts) GRADE 2- + Low grade polish, non-textured: (e.g. SPI - B2 or higher.) + Textured. + Clear translucent. GRADE 3 - + Painted parts GRADE 4- «Ink stamped, printed, silk screened + Other decorative processes. B. SURFACE IDENTIFICATION "AM surface - The top or front, most often viewed surface. Generally the front edge and sides of a part. Not viewed as often as an "A" surface but easily seen by user. "C" surface - Most often, the back and bottom surface. “"D" surface - internal surfaces. Normally D surfaces are not inspected for cosmetic attributes. Where, necessary, D surface inspection will be specified as an exception Page 8 © 1994 The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. ‘Version AThe Society of the Plastics Industry Cosmetic Specifications of Injection Molded Parts Ill. STANDARD VIEWING CONDITION A. LIGHTING INTENSITY All quality decisions of cosmetic acceptability will be made under normal lighting conditions (80-120 footcandles) in white fluorescent light. B. VIEWING ANGLE All viewing will take place with direct overhead lighting. Viewing angle is dependent on surface classification In every case, parts will be held such that the light is NOT REFLECTED directly to the viewer. A" surface - Hold part 30° from the horizontal plane. Part is in direct line with your eyes. ROTATE part 30° to the right and to the left about the vertical "BY surface - Hold part 90° from the horizontal plane. Part is in direct line with your eyes, DO NOT rotate the part. "C* surface - Hold part 90° from the horizontal plane. Part is NOT in direct line with your eyes. Part is held 45° below the plane of your eyes. DO NOT rotate the part. C. VIEWING DISTANCE "A" surface - 18 inches "B" surface - 24 inches C" surface - 30 inches Page 9 © 1994 The Society ofthe Plastics Industry, Inc. Version AThe Society of the Plastics Industry Cosmetic Specifications of Injection Molded Parts III. STANDARD VIEWING CONDITION (continued) | D. INSPECTION INTERVAL (time) | Inspection interval is a function of surface area. “AN non-"A" SURFACE AREA Surfaces Surfaces . | <4in? = (2"x2") 2 sec. 1 see. | 4-16 in? (4"x 4") 4 sec. 2 sec. | 16-64 in? (8"x 8") 6 sec. 3 sec. 64-144 in? (12"x 12") 8 see. 4 sec >144in2 12" x 12") 10 sec. 5 sec. IV. COLOR MATCHING | Decisions regarding color matching are made by comparison to known standards using a spectrophotometer, color meter or suitable color matching light booth. Color standards and tolerances shall be provided by the customer. In the absence of a customer supplied color standard, standards shall be developed based upon the material manufacturer's color chip set and tolerances shall be set using a Delta E (AE) limit of 1.00, unless otherwise stated by the customer. V. GLOSS. Determination of gloss is to be made using a suitable glossmeter (e.g. BYK Gardener Glossgard® 60° glossmeter). When gloss cannot be measured by glossmeter, judgement shall be made by eye against gloss standards provided by or approved by the customer. All evaluations by eye shall be under standard viewing conditions a Page 10 © 1994 The Society ofthe Plastics Industry, Inc. Version AThe Society of the Plastics Industry Cosmetic Specifications of Injection Molded Parts VI. SURFACE FINISH and TEXTURE MATCHING. Judgement as to the conformance of surface finish is to be made by comparing a part to an SPI Mold Finish Guide plaque. Comparison is by eye unless otherwise specified by the customer, Judgement as to the conformance of surface texture is to be made by comparing a part to a Mold-Tech texture plaque. Comparison is by eye unless otherwise specified by the customer. VII. ADHESION Adhesion requirements pertain to printed, painted or other decorative finishes applied to the surface of a plastic part. The applied finish must withstand a tape test, whereby a piece of pressure sensitive tape (Scotch Number 610 or equivalent adhesive strength) is applied across the finished surface, The tape is then removed by rapidly pulling the tape at a 90 degree angle to the part surface. The tape is examined for evidence of finish coat removal. There should be no evidence of finish coat on the tape Page 11 © 1994 The Society ofthe Plastics Industry, Inc.
