Abstract
Abstract A carbon fiber-reinforced cement mould is provided which is capable of being thermally cycled continually at temperatures up to 200° C. Such mould is particularly suitable for casting or forming plastic articles which require heating up to 200° C. to effect curing. Because the mould remains free from cracking and surface spalling during such thermal cycling, it can be used over and over again.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
In a process for making and using a mold wherein a heat curable plastics composition is disposed in said mold and cured by heat, the improvement comprising: making said mold by combining carbon fibers with hydraulic cement and aggregate in the proportions of 1 to 6 parts by weight of said fibers to 100 parts by weight of said cement and aggregate and forming a coating, and mold surfaces to be in contact with said plastics composition such that said coating contains not more than 1-3 parts of carbon fibers by weight to 100 parts by weight of hydraulic cement and aggregate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
In a process for making and using a mold wherein a heat curable plastics composition is disposed in said mold and cured by heat, the improvement comprising: making said mold by combining carbon fibers with hydraulic cement and aggregate in the proportions of 1 to 6 parts by weight of said fibers to 100 parts by weight of said cement and aggregate and forming a coating, and mold surfaces to be in contact with said plastics composition such that said coating contains not more than 1-3 parts of carbon fibers by weight to 100 parts by weight of hydraulic cement and aggregate.
