| Abstract: |
A sheet-like cleaning material for a molding metal die formed by enclosing a cleaning member in at least two layers of sheet-like base materials, characterized in that the cleaning member is formed of one type of tablet-like, granular, or powdery cleaning member or a sheet-like or a plate-like cleaning member. The cleaning material for the molding metal die desirably involves a forming member together with the cleaning member, the sheet-like base materials are desirably formed of sheet-like fiber base materials with a porosity of 70 vol. % or more, and the sheet-like fiber base materials are used as the outermost layer of the cleaning material for the molding metal die. |

| Claim: |
1-9. (canceled) |
| Claim: |
10. A mold cleaning material of sheet form comprising at least two base sheets, and a combination of a cleaning member and a molding member enclosed between the base sheets; wherein the cleaning member has at least one of a tablet form, a granular form, a powder form, a sheet form, and a plate form, and the molding member is at least one of unvulcanized synthetic rubber and unvulcanized natural rubber. |
| Claim: |
11. The mold cleaning material according to claim 10, wherein at least the outermost base sheets are fibrous sheets having a porosity of 70% or more. |
| Claim: |
12. The mold cleaning material according to claim 10, which has a thermoplastic resin film or tape applied to a prescribed part of at least one of the base sheets. |
| Claim: |
13. The mold cleaning material according to claim 10, wherein a combination of the cleaning member and the molding member is enclosed by heat sealing the base sheets via a thermoplastic resin film or tape. |
| Claim: |
14. The mold cleaning material according to according to claim 10, wherein a combination of the cleaning member and the molding member is enclosed by adhering the base sheets with at least one of a double-sided tape, an adhesive, and a pressure sensitive adhesive. |
| Claim: |
15. The mold cleaning material according to claim 10, wherein a combination of the cleaning member and the molding member is enclosed by adhering the base sheets by pressing or deforming the base sheets. |
| Claim: |
16. A method of cleaning a mold comprising the steps of sandwiching a mold cleaning material according to claim 10 between two halves of a heated mold, applying heat and pressure to the mold cleaning material for a given time to cure the cleaning member, and removing the cleaning material. |
| Claim: |
17. The mold cleaning material according to claim 11, which has a thermoplastic resin film or tape applied to a prescribed part of at least one of the base sheets. |
| Claim: |
18. The mold cleaning material according to claim 11, wherein a combination of the cleaning member and the molding member is enclosed by heat sealing the base sheets via a thermoplastic resin film or tape. |
| Claim: |
19. The mold cleaning material according to claim 12, wherein a combination of the cleaning member and the molding member is enclosed by heat sealing the base sheets via a thermoplastic resin film or tape. |
| Claim: |
20. The mold cleaning material according to according to claim 11, wherein a combination of the cleaning member and the molding member is enclosed by adhering the base sheets with at least one of a double-sided tape, an adhesive, and a pressure sensitive adhesive. |
| Claim: |
21. The mold cleaning material according to according to claim 12, wherein a combination of the cleaning member and the molding member is enclosed by adhering the base sheets with at least one of a double-sided tape, an adhesive, and a pressure sensitive adhesive. |
| Claim: |
22. The mold cleaning material according to claim 11, wherein a combination of the cleaning member and the molding member is enclosed by adhering the base sheets by pressing or deforming the base sheets. |
| Claim: |
23. The mold cleaning material according to claim 12, wherein a combination of the cleaning member and the molding member is enclosed by adhering the base sheets by pressing or deforming the base sheets. |
| Claim: |
24. A method of cleaning a mold comprising the steps of sandwiching a mold cleaning material according to claim 11 between two halves of a heated mold, applying heat and pressure to the mold cleaning material for a given time to cure the cleaning member, and removing the cleaning material. |
| Claim: |
25. A method of cleaning a mold comprising the steps of sandwiching a mold cleaning material according to claim 12 between two halves of a heated mold, applying heat and pressure to the mold cleaning material for a given time to cure the cleaning member, and removing the cleaning material. |
| Claim: |
26. A method of cleaning a mold comprising the steps of sandwiching a mold cleaning material according to claim 13 between two halves of a heated mold, applying heat and pressure to the mold cleaning material for a given time to cure the cleaning member, and removing the cleaning material. |
| Claim: |
27. A method of cleaning a mold comprising the steps of sandwiching a mold cleaning material according to claim 14 between two halves of a heated mold, applying heat and pressure to the mold cleaning material for a given time to cure the cleaning member, and removing the cleaning material. |
| Claim: |
28. A method of cleaning a mold comprising the steps of sandwiching a mold cleaning material according to claim 15 between two halves of a heated mold, applying heat and pressure to the mold cleaning material for a given time to cure the cleaning member, and removing the cleaning material. |
