In order to deliver the best blow molding performance, it is customary within the conversion industry to establish ‘recipe’ guidelines per resin/per supplier as different PET resin production technologies and different specific resin formulations can significantly influence the blow molding performance. As a major supplier of additives and colors to the plastics industry, ColorMatrix has, in the course of supporting its customers worldwide, developed best practice guidelines for its products which it provides as a free service. Maximum speed output should be attainable prior to any ‘recipe’ setting trials TECHNICAL BULLETIN The diagram below shows many of the variables that are typically present during stretch blow molding and this illustrates the complexity of the whole process.
