Processes for preparation of seals and gaskets using cure-in-place techniques that incorporate a molding step, which is preferably an injection molding step, are provided. The process further comprises the steps of separating mold plates (12, 10, 34, 36, 60, 62, 76, 78) from a support member (22, 30, 48, 68) leaving an UV curable sealing composition adhered thereto and exposing said assembly to UV radiation to cure said UV curable elastomeric sealing composition. The processes are useful for preparing sealing assemblies that comprise compositions that are curable by UV radiation and that are adhered to a support member (22, 30, 48, 68). |
