Part Removal
When parts contain cores or cut-outs, as the elastomer shrinks it can tighten around the tooling, making removal difficult.
Mold design, mold surface finish and processing conditions can lessen this effect, and make even automatic removal possible.

In solvolysis, the chain length of matrix polymers is reduced toward monomers while removing the matrix from the fibers so that both the fibers and matrix chemical products can be recovered.
Pyrolysis is more likely to damage the recovered fibers and reduce their properties in subsequent cleaning steps to remove the pyrolysis char, but some composites or mixed material applications require this route.
