MOLD RELEASE SHEET
A system for molding is provides and includes a first mold portion and a second mold portion. The first and second mold portions facilitate formation of a molded panel. A first sheet is inserted between the first mold portion and the second mold portion, such that the first sheet facilitates removal of the molded panel from the first mold portion.
1 . A system for molding comprising:
a first mold portion and a second mold portion, wherein the first and second mold portion facilitate formation of a molded panel; and
a first sheet inserted between the first mold portion and the second mold portion, wherein the first sheet facilitates removal of the molded panel from the first mold portion.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first sheet comprises a plastic.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first sheet is coated in a liquid solution.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the liquid solution comprises silicone.
5 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a second sheet inserted between the first mold portion and the second mold portion, wherein the second sheet facilitates removal of the molded panel from the second mold portion.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the molded panel is a multi-layered panel.
7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the multi-layered panel comprises two layers of fiberglass and a single layer of foam.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the molded panel is a headliner.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the molded panel comprises at least one sheet fiberglass layer.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the content or orientation of fibers in the sheet fiberglass layer have been selected to increase at least one of a strength or a flexibility of at least a portion of the sheet fiberglass layer.
11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first mold portion and the second mold portion form the panel via compression molding.
12 . A method of molding, comprising:
placing a panel on the top surface of a second mold portion;
placing a first sheet between the panel and a first mold portion;
molding the panel via bringing the first mold portion and the second mold portion together to compress the panel; and
removing the panel from the first mold portion and the second mold portion, wherein the first sheet facilitates removing the panel from the first mold portion.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein molding the panel further comprises heating the panel in a furnace.
14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the panel is a multi-layered panel.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the multi-layered panel comprises two layers of fiberglass and a single layer of foam.
16 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the panel comprises at least one sheet fiberglass layer.
17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein at least one of the content or orientation of fibers in the sheet fiberglass layer have been selected to increase at least one of a strength or a flexibility of at least a portion of the sheet fiberglass layer.
18 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first sheet comprises a plastic.
19 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first sheet is coated in a liquid solution.
20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the liquid solution comprises silicone.
