The molding material, softened by heat, is formed into a continuous mass having the geometrical configuration of the mold cavity. Further heating (thermosetting plastics) results in hardening of the molding material. If thermoplastics are the molding material, hardening is accomplished by cooling the mold. Fig. 2-6 illustrates types of compression molding. Here the molding compound is placed in the heated mold. After the plastic compound softens and becomes plastic, the punch moves down and compresses the material to the required density by a pressure. Some excess material will flow (vertical flash) from the mold as the mold closes to its final position. Continued heat and pressure produce the chemical reaction which hardens the compound. The time required for polymerization or curing depends principally upon the largest cross section of the product and the type of molding compound. The time may be less than a minute, or it may take several minutes before the part is ejected from the cavity. Since the plastic material is placed directly into the mold cavity, the mold itself can be simpler than those used for other molding processes. Gates and sprues are unnecessary. This also results in a saving in material, because trimmed-off gates and sprues would be a complete loss of the thermosetting plastic. The press used for compression molding is usually a vertical hydraulic press. Large presses may require the full attention of one operator. However, several sm
