Definition: The process of removal of flash or rind left on plastic moldings by spaces between mold cavity edges. Methods include tumbling or blast finishing, or both, use of dry or wet abrasive belts, and hand methods using knives, scrapers, broaching tools and files. Soft thermoplastic parts are sometimes deflashed by the cryogenic method, in which the parts are tumbled while chilled by a coolant such as liquid nitrogen. See also ABRASIVE FINISHING.
