Blow molding consists in forming bottles or packages from plastic by expanding a blank in a hollow mold. The blank is usually a tube, formed on the machine that performs the blow molding. The parison is extruded through extrusion blow molding, or injected through injection blow molding, with the use of granular resin as raw material. 3, record 1, English, - blow%20molding%20machine

The extrusion blow-molding process requires the resin to have a capability known as "melt strength. "The extruded parison must always hang in the air by its own strength until the mold can capture it for blow molding. Resins that have a relatively "sharp" melting point or that do not have melt strength, as is the case with many injection grades, are difficult to blow mold. 3, record 2, English, - melt%20strength

La famille des thermoplastiques techniques vient de s'agrandir. [...] La polycétone aliphatique [...] aurait hérité grosso modo, du caractère de deux de ses proches parents : le polyamide (PA) et le polyacétal (POM). Par sa tenue en température, la nouvelle résine tiendrait plutôt du polyamide. Tandis que sa bonne tenue à l'eau et sa «clipsabilité», c'est-à-dire à la fois sa résistance mécanique et son élasticité, lui prêteraient davantage les traits du polyacétal. [...] La polycétone aliphatique est un polymère à chaîne linéaire, dans laquelle alternent très régulièrement des molécules de monoxyde de carbone et d'éthylène.

Another process somewhat related to extrusion blow molding is the extrusion/molded neck process. Still used today by Owens-Illinois, this is a proprietary process that traces its roots to glass-blowing technology. It is unique in that the bottle neck finish is injection molded and the bottle body is extrusion blow-molded. In this process, the two halves of a neck finish cavity or neckring are mounted to an actuating head assembly, which intermeshes with the two halves of the blow-mold cavity. The process cycle begins with the main body mold cavity open and the neckring cavity closed. The actuating head assembly moves downward to contact the extrusion die head. When it is in position, extrusion pressure fills the neck section with plastic melt. After it is held for one to two seconds, the head assembly moves upward while, simultaneously, the parison is extruded. When the head assembly reaches the top of its stroke, the blow-mold cavity closes on the parison. The remaining steps of parison pinch-off, blowing, and part removal all follow conventional techniques. Although the production cycle is somewhat slow, the process offers the quality advantage of an accurately molded neck and the process advantage of a parison held at both ends. 1, record 9, English, - extrusion%20molded%20neck%20blow%2Dmolding%20process
