Causes of Matte Surfaces

There are several reasons why matte surfaces can occur in plastic injection molded parts. Some common causes include:

1. Poor Mold Surface Finish: If the mold surface is not polished or textured properly, it can result in a matte surface finish on the part.
2. Incorrect Material Selection: Certain materials are more prone to matte surfaces than others. Using the wrong material can result in a matte finish.
3. Injection Molding Process: The injection molding process itself can also lead to matte surfaces if not done correctly.
