Methods
(1) and (2) parison is pinches at the top and sealed at the bottom around a metal blow pin as the
two halves of the mold come together
(3) the tube is inflated so that it takes the shape of the mold cavity
(4) mold is opened to remove the solidified part.

Extrusion Injection
DISADVANTAGES
Very temperature sensitive, therefore not
normally injection blown because the
process requires two heat cycles
PROCESSING PARAMETERS
Typical melt temperature range for PVC is
375o – 420oF.
Polyethylene terephthalate
(PET)
ADVANTAGES
Easily recycled, very lightweight, it makes
a good gas and fair moisture barrier. It is
strong and impact-resistant. It is naturally
colorless and transparent.
DISADVANTAGES
Have to be careful to avoid a temperature
that is two high or acetaldehyde forms.
PROCESSING PARAMETERS
Temperature range for PET to blow mold
is 200o – 212oF. Mold temperatures should
be in the range of 35o – 40oF
