Process for Producing A Molded Polymeric Article

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a process for producing a molded polymeric article including: providing a polymerizable composition of a reaction mixture of at least the following components: a mold release agent of ionic fluoride and/or ionic fluoride precursor, and a polymeric organic material selected from thermosetting organic polymeric materials and thermoplastic organic materials; allowing the reaction mixture to undergo exothermic reaction; providing a mold having a first part and a second part spaced one from the other thereby forming a cavity there between; introducing the reaction mixture into the mold cavity wherein the reaction mixture is at a temperature of up to 130° C.; holding the mold at a temperature and for a time sufficient to cure the reaction mixture thereby forming a molded polymeric article within the mold; and removing the molded polymeric article from the mold. Molded articles also are provided.
