Injection Molding Defects and Solutions -- Whitening

Whitening (Stress Whitening):
During demolding, excessive ejection force is applied to the surface areas around ejector pins or grooves. Due to forced demolding, high internal stress develops in these regions, sometimes causing deformation. Whitening is a sign of stress cracking. Materials such as ABS and HIPS are particularly prone to this phenomenon.
