Black specks are especially critical when producing transparent parts. Those experienced with the material know that if certain rules are followed in processing, the risk of the occurrence of black specks can be minimised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/plastoptima.nl\/index.php\/polycarbonate-black-specks-worse\/\">Read on<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bridging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine producing this cover in a transparent material with a nice matt finish and out of the blue a heavily degraded part appears, sometimes complete, sometimes partially filled.
