1. A process of manufacturing a polymer product, the process characterized by:
continuously forming a temporary container;
introducing an unsaturated monomer component and a radical polymerization component into the temporary container;
sealing the temporary container to form a sealed temporary container; and
allowing the unsaturated monomer component to polymerize in the sealed temporary container to form the polymer product via a radical polymerization reaction wherein the temporary container has two or more layers or the temporary container has an inner surface and an opposing outer surface, and a coating is disposed on at least one of the inner and outer surfaces of the temporary container, the coating comprising a wax, a silicone, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing.
