Abstract:

The invention is generally directed to baby bottles and other articles produced by blow molding from polymeric materials having glass transition temperatures ranging from 100 C. to 130 C. , as well as to processes for producing them. These articles can be exposed to boiling water and can be produced by using a suitable combination of a stretch ratio of less than 3 and a preform temperature at least 20 C. greater than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymeric material.

Abstract:

Extrusion blow molded (EBM) articles comprising a polyester having a dicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component. The dicarboxylic acid component comprises at least 90 mole % terephthalic acid residues. The glycol component comprises at least 75 mole % ethylene glycol residues and 15 to 25 mole % residues of a difunctional glycol such as, for example, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Such EBM articles can exhibit reduced haze, reduced sharkskin, and/or increased compatibility in PET recycling.

Inventors:

Robert Ellis McCrary - Kingsport TN, US

Assignee:

Eastman Chemical Company - Kingsport TN

International Classification:

B29C 49/12

US Classification:

264532, 425535

Abstract:

An improved stretch rod tip having a hollowed area for receipt of a portion of a preform and at least a portion of a sprue during stretch blow molding of a container. Upon hardening of the container, the received portion of the preform becomes a protective dome over the received portion of the sprue that is at least partially internal to the container and that greatly reduces cracking, shearing, or other fracturing of the container due to a drop impact.

International Classification:

B29C 49/00
B29C 49/64

Abstract:

The invention is generally directed to sports bottles and other articles produced by blow molding from polymeric materials containing isosorbide having glass transition temperatures ranging from 90 C. to 130 C., as well as to processes for producing them. These articles can be exposed to water at high temperatures and can be produced by using a suitable combination of a stretch ratio of less than 3x and a preform temperature at least 20 C. greater than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymeric material.
