A moldable material, which either has dipoles or other charged particles therein, or is susceptible to their creation, is introduced into a mold or is passed through a die. The material is then subjected to a polarization medium until either at least some of the dipoles or other charged particles are oriented in the direction of the polarization medium, or until at least some dipoles or other charged particles are created thereby. Thereafter, the material is permitted to cool. Once cooled, the molded material is separated from the mold or die. The effect of polarizing the moldable material is then analyzed by permitting an at least partial relaxation of the dipoles or other charges therein which were polarized or created. This relaxation results in a measurable current which is related to the actual temperature of the material at the time the polarization medium was applied. By repeating this process wherein the only significant variable is the time at which the polarization medium was applied, a cooling profile can be prepared for the moldable material, the mold and/or the die.
