For some applications, it is desirable to close the mold first and then introduce the molding compound in its fluid state through a small opening or gate leading to the mold cavity or cavities. This technique is called transfer or plunger molding. 5, record 1, English, - transfer%20moulding

Combinations of resins, fillers and reinforcement in a form suitable for processing by injection, transfer and compression are called moulding compounds. The materials may be granular, powders, sheets or doughs, according to both the constraints of manufacture and the intended application. Compounds based on thermoplastics resins are generally either granules or powders, while the form of those based on thermosetting resins is resin-specific. 5, record 3, English, - moulding%20compound

compound : Terme anglo-américain signifiant composition [c.-à-d. mélange d'un polymère ou de polymères avec d'autres substances telles que renforts, charges, plastifiants, catalyseurs et colorants] dont le maintien dans le langage des composites est rendu nécessaire par les différents procédés de mises en œuvre [...]. Ce mot désigne [...] plusieurs familles de préimprégnés destinés au moulage. Il peut s'agir : - de pâtes, on parle alors de «Dough Molding Compounds (D.M.C.)»; - de poudres à mouler se présentant sous forme de paillettes appelées «Bulk Molding Compound (B.M.C.)»; - de feuilles appelées généralement «Sheet Molding Compound (S.M.C.)». 6, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9lange%20%C3%A0%20mouler

pâte de moulage : Comme le mélange se présente souvent sous forme de pâte, ce terme peut être utilisé selon le contexte. Par exemple, dans l'ouvrage de Jean-Michel André intitulé «Restauration des sculptures», on parle des «pâtes» de verre (p. 116) et de la «pâte» Araldite qui, durcie après mélange de deux éléments, reste légèrement souple et peut se travailler comme un bois tendre et être utilisée pour le remplacement des manques dans la réparation des objets du bois (p. 79). 7, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9lange%20%C3%A0%20mouler
