Disclosed is a continuous line process for making a pre-formed object having
a plurality of surfaces comprising the steps of:
- (1) providing a sol phase of the composition comprising a solvent and
a gelling agent having a sol-gel transition point between about the melting point
of the solvent and about the boiling point of the solvent;
- (2) forming surfaces of the sol phase composition by passing through
a surface forming system, the surface forming system pressing the sol phase composition
between a plurality of liners;
- (3) cooling the sol phase composition into a gel phase; and
- (4) cutting the gel phase composition;
- wherein the pre-formed object is free of a supporting substrate.
