Blow Molding
Overview
The blow molding process creates hollow products by utilizing pressurized air to expand heated plastic within a mold. There are three primary methods of blow molding: extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding, and injection stretch blow molding. The processes support creative product designs for rigid parts. Many rigid products contain Ingenia masterbatches for applications including food and beverage packaging, packaging for health and personal care items, petrochemical bottles, automotive components, and outdoor supply products.
Ingenia’s pigmented masterbatches offer reliable and consistent performance for blow molding. Color or product changeovers can be expedited seamlessly with Ingenia’s purge compounds, reducing the amount of material required for the process and saving converters time and money. Ingenia’s INCIRCLE® products support the use of post-consumer or post-industrial recyclate into rigid packaging through compatibilization, process stabilization and improvement of recyclate properties.
Ingenia’s innovative non-PFAS process aids allow for the prevention of surface imperfections in the molding of large drums and also provide high surface gloss for cosmetic packaging applications.
