A film forming formulation is provided that includes reaction products of phosphoric acid with a strained ring alkoxy silane. The phosphoric acid and the strained ring alkoxy silane are present in a molecular ratio of from 0.9-3.3:1. The film formulation also includes an aqueous solvent. A mold release coating composition is also provided that includes the film forming formulation, a reactive release agent, a base, and an aqueous solvent.

A method produces a fiber composite component for a motor vehicle. The method provides a semifinished fiber composite blank, wherein the semifinished fiber composite blank includes reinforcing fibers and a matrix material. The semifinished fiber composite blank is arranged between a first membrane and a second membrane. The semifinished fiber composite blank is shaped into a fiber composite molding by pressing the semifinished fiber composite blank together with the first membrane and the second membrane via a pressing device, and the fiber composite molding is consolidated.

A latching mechanism suitable for suppository molds, where the latching mechanism is designed to assist the separation of mold when the latch is released. In embodiments, the latching mechanism has a lever portion on a first mold half and a catch portion on a second mold half. The lever portion is configured to impinge upon the catch portion to provide a force to bias the first mold half away from the second mold half. Other embodiments include methods of utilizing such a catching mechanism with a suppository mold.
