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.
