Overview
Injection blow moulding is used for the Production of hollow objects in large
quantities. The main applications are bottles, jars and other containers. The
Injection blow moulding process produces bottles of superior visual and
dimensional quality compared to extrusion blow moulding. The process is ideal
for both narrow and wide-mouthed containers and produces them fully finished
with no flash.
Typical Materials Used:
Polyethylene (Low Density) LDPE, (LLDPE), Polypropylene (PP),
Polyethylene - Terephthalate (PET), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Polyethylene
(High Density) HDPE)
Typical
Products Produced:
Plastic Bottles
Overview
Injection Moulding (or Molding to use the US spelling), along with extrusion
ranks as one of the prime processes for producing plastics articles. It is a
fast process and is used to produce large numbers of identical items from high
precision engineering components to disposable consumer goods.
Typical Materials Used:
Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS), Nylon (PA),
Polycarbonate (PC), Polypropylene (PP) and Polystyrene (GPPS)
Typical
Products Produced:
Power-tool housing, Telephone handsets, Television Cabinets,
Electrical Switches, DVDs, Automotive bumpers, Automotive dash boards, Battery
Casings, Syringes, Drug Inhalation Units, Disposable razors, washing-up
bowls, Wheelie bins, Crates/Recycling boxes and Bottle Lids/closures
Overview
Developments over the past years in Gas Assisted Moulding or (Gas Assisted
Molding to use the US spelling or Gas Injection Moulding being a common
reference term) have resulted in advances in the way in which injection moulded
components are manufactured. Enhanced quality, reduced cycle times and
component weight reductions can be achieved by the process.
