A variation of conventional compression molding, this process uses two metal molds having a close-fitting, telescoping area to seal in the plastic compound being molded and to trim the reinforcement. The reinforcement, usually mat or preform, is positioned in the mold, and the mold is closed and heated(pressures generally vary between 150 and 400 lb/in. ²). Mold is then opened and part lifted out. 3, record 2, English, - matched%20die%20molding

Hot-wire or knife sealing is adaptable to a very high speed operation and is used for both sealing and cutting apart polyethylene bags on bag-making equipment.... Unsupported films, when trim sealed by this method, tend to form a strong bead in their seal areas due to surface tension and orientation. This method is also used to a limited degree with laminated constructions. Hot-wire cutoff is also used in film-dispensing equipment and with L sealers. 1, record 3, English, - wire%20sealing
