Ever encountered bubbles?

These awkward and unsightly voids not only mar the aesthetics of your products but can also compromise their structural integrity.

Bubbles form in plastic when there's trapped air or gas in the mold cavity, typically due to insufficient venting, high injection speed, or moisture in the material. Tackling this issue head-on is essential to maintain quality and customer satisfaction.

To prevent bubbles, ensuring proper venting is crucial, as is fine-tuning your mold design to include adequate release channels - simply put, this allows trapped air to escape seamlessly and reduces the risk of bubbles forming. Going one step further, optimizing the injection speed and reducing moisture can help, as a slower injection rate in a drier environment minimizes the chances of air entrapment, promoting a smoother, bubble-free finish.

With decades of experience creating outstanding parts for the largest automotive manufacturers in the world, ADIS Tachov s.r.o., with its Central European base not only checks for wear and tear on your molds - as damaged components can exacerbate bubble formation - but also consistently reviews and adjusts processing parameters to adapt to different materials and conditions.

As stated by Executive Director Jeremy Svoboda: “By implementing preventive measures, you can directly impact and enhance the overall quality and reliability of your products”.
