Concept explainers
Interpretation: The excess material left on the product after compression molding is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The cross-linking between the molecules take place because of heat and catalyst during the performing and molding process.
Answer to Problem 10.1Q
The excess material left on the product after compression molding is flash.
Explanation of Solution
Compression molding is the molding process in which the plastic materials are formed by placing them into a cavity by heat and pressure.
The water molecules, gases, and other by-products are formed by the cross-linking reaction.
Such by-products are known as flash which is left on the product after compression molding.
The excess material that is left on the product after compression molding is flash which is to be removed in order to produce fine products.
