Mould for a composite material part coated with a stripping product
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a mold for making a composite material part, the mold being coated in a stripping composition. The stripping composition comprises: 100 parts by weight of a base ingredient consisting in epoxy polydimethylsiloxane; 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of a polymerization agent for polymerizing the base ingredient and constituted by a diaryliodonium salt; not more than 30 parts by weight of an anti-adhesion modulator constituted by a silicone polymer; and not more than 40 parts by weight of an anti-stick agent making the composition less tacky prior to polymerization and constituted by at least one vinyl ether compound.
1. A mold for making a heat curable composite material part, comprising:
a liquid coating of a stripping composition on the mold,
wherein, the stripping composition is solvent-free and is polymerized by heating, and
the stripping composition comprises:
100 parts by weight of a base ingredient constituted by an epoxy polydimethylsiloxane;
0.5 to 10 parts by weight of a polymerization agent for polymerizing the base ingredient and constituted by a diaryliodonium salt;
5 to 10 parts by weight of an anti-adhesion modulator constituted by an epoxy polydimethylsiloxane which is not polymerized and
an anti-stick agent making the composition less tacky prior to polymerization, which comprises 8 to 12 parts by weight dodecyl monovinyl ether in the stripping composition and 8 to 12 parts by weight of cyclohexane dimethanol divinyl ether in the stripping composition, and
wherein the base ingredient and the anti-adhesion modulator are different materials.
2. The mold according to claim 1 , wherein
the polymerization agent is 5 to 7 parts by weight.
3. The mold according to claim 2 , wherein
the polymerization agent is 6 parts by weight;
the anti-adhesion modulate is 8 parts by weight; and
the dodecyl monovinyl ether is present at a concentration of 11.4 parts by weight, and
the cyclohexane dimethanol divinyl ether is present at a concentration of 11.4 parts by weight.
4. A wipe or cloth impregnated in the stripping composition of claim 1 .
5. A method of molding a heat curable composite material part, comprising:
forming a composite material in a mold coated by a liquid stripping composition, wherein,
the surface of the mold is coated with the stripping composition to a thickness of about one micrometer,
the stripping composition is solvent-free and is polymerized by heating, and
the stripping composition comprises:
100 parts by weight of a base ingredient constituted by an epoxy polydimethylsiloxane;
0.5 to 10 parts by weight of a polymerization agent for polymerizing the base ingredient and constituted by a diaryliodonium salt;
5 to 10 parts by weight of an anti-adhesion modulator constituted by an epoxy polydimethylsiloxane which is not polymerized; and
an anti-stick agent making the composition less tacky prior to polymerization, which comprises 8 to 12 parts by weight dodecyl monovinyl ether in said stripping composition and 8 to 12 parts by weight of cyclohexane dimethanol divinyl ether in said stripping composition, and
wherein the base ingredient and the anti-adhesion modulator are different materials.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the surface of the mold is coated with a wipe or a cloth impregnated in the stripping composition.
7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the polymerization cycle is 1 hour at 150° C.±5° C.
8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the polymerization cycle is 30 minutes at 100° C.
9. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the composite material part formed in the mold is a helicopter blade or an element of such a blade.
