We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Plastic Moulding",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Magnetic system seals large doors from
Machine Building Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Magnetic Door Stop is neatly concealed behind a plastic moulding which bolts neatly in the narrow gap between door and frame".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Sealing products handle tough environments from
Moontown: "Moontown metal sealing prodcuts are useful where elastomeric and PTFE products are impractical due to temperature, pressure, radiation, permeability, fatigue or corrosion".
In March 2007, we covered the news from ABB Automation Tech (LV Products)
concerning its GeKu plastic injection moulding cell
- take a look at Automation process boosts plastic moulding
which says: "The GeKu plastic injection moulding cell is helping Characteristix stay competitive against the Far East giants of the industry".
Take a look also at the news release from SensorsOne, Level transmitter resists corrosion,
as well as Flush transducers handle high-viscosity fluids from SensorsOne,
and Prototyping process provides tooling flexibility from Protoform.
