MOLD MAKING [13 records]

Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
  • Facilities and Equipment (Rubber)
CONT

Mold makers create, adjust, and adapt the molds used in cast manufacturing. Most frequently, tool and machine parts manufacturers are the employers for mold makers. Mold makers typically work with specifications from a design team, and they need to know how to work from schematics and be familiar with computer-aided design(CAD) programs for this purpose. The mold maker then creates initial molds. Upon the successful completion of production runs and quality control for parts from the casting, the maker then puts the mold into the production cycle. Mold makers often work with existing parts, making necessary adjustments to existing molds and conforming existing molds to new product specifications.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

Plastics technicians are skilled professionals who help engineers, scientists, research groups, and manufactur­ers design, develop, manufacture, and market plastics products. Plastics technicians may work in research and development or manufacturing. In these settings, they function at a level between the engineer or scientist in charge of a job, and the production or laboratory workers who carry out most of the tasks. Other plastics technicians handle mold and tool making, materials and machinery, sales and services, and related technical tasks.

Record 3 2013-04-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Prosthetic Dentistry
DEF

In dentistry, a substance applied to the investment surface of a denture flask to protect the resin from the surfaces in the mold space to avoid incorporation of water into the resin from the gypsum, thereby preventing crazing of the denture, and keeping the dissolved polymer and free monomer from soaking into the mold surface, and making separation of the investing material from the resin possible.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dentisterie prothétique
OBS

Passer sur toute la surface du plâtre un vernis du commerce spécialement adapté (en général une solution d'alginate) pour éviter que le liquide de la résine ne soit absorbé par le plâtre et que l'eau ne pénètre dans la résine pendant la polymérisation.

Record 4 2010-02-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
  • Animal Feed (Agric.)
CONT

When high moisture grain such as corn is placed in a sealed silo, the grain undergoes fermentation, oxygen is depleted, and carbon dioxide is increased by the respiration of the grains, yeasts, and bacteria. Aerobic mold growth is halted but germination is impaired, making the seed only suitable for animal feed.

Key term(s)
  • high-moisture grain

French

Domaine(s)
  • Culture des céréales
  • Alimentation des animaux (Agric.)
CONT

Lorsque du grain à forte teneur en eau (maïs) est placé dans un silo étanche, ce grain subit une fermentation; l’oxygène est consommé et la teneur en gaz carbonique est augmentée par la respiration des grains, des levures et des bactéries. La croissance des moisissures aérobies est arrêtée, mais la germination est rendue impossible et le grain ne peut plus servir qu’à l’alimentation du bétail.

Record 7 2003-06-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Doors, Windows and Openings (Building Elements)
  • Thermal Insulation
CONT

The primary window consideration is its insulating-glass spacer-with traditional highly conductive metal spacers, which leads to lower perimeter edge temperatures. Convection currents further concentrate cold air along the bottom edge of glass, making that area the most vulnerable. Only a warmer edge, all the way around, will strike at the heart of the problem. The world's warmest edge occurs with ENER-SAVE Window's Super Spacer, an insulating white foam spacer whose use allows for comfortable household humidity levels and the least likelihood of mold and other problems.

CONT

The term "Warm Edge Technology" (WET) was introduced after the development of insulated spacer bars, which are intended to improve the thermal performance of the edge of sealed insulating glass (IG) units.

CONT

Insulating glass is a multiglass combination consisting of two (2) or three (3) glasses, according to the customer’s specifications, separated with a spacer filled with desiccant , single or double sealed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ouvertures (Éléments du bâtiment)
  • Isolation thermique
CONT

L'expression «technologie des bordures chaudes» (TBC) a été créée après l'introduction des intercalaires isolants qui permettent d'améliorer le rendement thermique des vitrages isolants (VI) scellés.

CONT

Le vitrage isolant consiste en la production d'un panneau composé de deux (2) ou trois (3) verres selon la demande, lesquels sont espacés par un intercalaire contenant un dessiccant, et scellés au périmètre par une étanchéité simple ou double.

CONT

Vitrage isolant (double) à intercalaires élastomères.
