Role of Rheology in Blow Molding

  • Chapter
Book cover Melt Rheology and Its Role in Plastics Processing

Abstract

The two principal types of blow molding process are extrusion blow molding and injection blow molding. In the latter process a “preform,” often similar to a test tube with a threaded end, is injection molded and subsequently reheated and inflated inside a mold. This process affords excellent control of the thickness distribution in the preform and is used to make small containers with high quality finishes. It also lends itself well to the stretch blow molding process used to make carbonated beverage bottles.
