Abstract: A device for manufacturing internal motor vehicle components of multicomponent plastics material, particularly polyurethane, wherein the internal motor vehicle components are composed of a carrier and a decorative foil which are glued together by the foamed multicomponent plastics material. The device includes a lower die part and an upper die part and a frame for supporting the decorative foil. The die cavity is sealed by a sealing rope. In the closed position of the device, the three sides of the sealing rope which do not face the die cavity are in contact and secured by the clamping frame and the lower and upper die parts. The fourth side of the sealing rope facing the die cavity is expandable in the direction toward the die cavity. The sealing rope may be attached to and movable with the clamping frame.

Abstract: A contour-finished elastic seal of a thermoplastic elastomer for a mold tool is soaked in paraffin oil in order to improve the self-separating properties of the elastic seal before the seal is placed into the mold tool.
