  • Method of molding or curing a resin material at high temperatures using a multilayer release film
    Patent number: 6440566
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for molding or curing a resin material using a multilayer release film as a barrier at the surface of the resin material. In one embodiment, the method comprises the surface of the resin material being in contact with the release film at a temperature of at least about 350° F. (about 180° C.). Here, the release film is non-oriented and comprises: (1) an enhancement layer which comprises a thermoplastic material; and (2) a first release layer which has a composition that is different from the enhancement layer, comprises a polymeric material, and is releasable from the resin material after the resin material is molded or cured. This invention also relates to a release film that may be used, for example, with the above method.
