You'll look good in the suit.<\/p>\n<p>During injection moulding, the hot plastic is injected very quickly into the cooled tool geometry of the subsequent plastic moulded part. Then comes the big shock: cooling! The material, which has just been quick-fixed, solidifies with fright during the movement and everything quickly becomes too tight due to the onset of shrinkage. With <a href=\"https:\/\/hamco-germany.com\/en\/technical-term\/dynamic-pressure-holding-pressure\/\">Reprint and holding pressure<\/a> the missing plastic molecules are pressed into the mould. When there is no more movement, the component is demoulded and looks good on the outside despite the frozen internal stresses.<\/p>\n<p>Everything looks good on the outside for both components and people. But inside, the mood is oppressively bad. Finally out of your trousers - what a relief. If the component is later subjected to stress, heated or comes into contact with certain chemical agents, these hidden, frozen tensions can be released.
