Extrusion Blow Molding
✪ Material of Construction :
– Mild Steel
– Aluminum
– Beryllium Copper
✪ Essential requirements on the mould :
– Adequate cooling, preferably along the contours of the cavity
– Cooling of thicker areas of the article like neck, top and bottom
pinch-offs.
– Surface Mating.
– Proper alignment of the two halves
– Sandblast finish for moulds of 5 litres and above of 40 / 50 mesh
grit.
Modifications In Die Design
Testing of Rigid Packages
• 2D Software – AUTOCAD
• 3D Software –
- Pro Engineering
- Uni Graphics
• Imaging - 3D Studio
The IBC concept
Extremely light and space saving container
system.
Specially made for multi trip capabilities.
Large packaging unit size, reduces number of
units to be handled. Lower cost of filling, storage, handling
and transportation.
Innovations in Design
• Innovative Vented
Induction Sealing Wads
Barrier Solutions
• Fluorination
• Co-extrusion
• Sulphonation
Direct Fluorination
• The fluorination process is based on the
formation of a fluorocarbon barrier layer H
on the polymer surface.
H C H
• The basic reaction which occurs with
F
HDPE is a substitution of fluorine in
H
place of hydrogen atoms on the polymer
backbone as shown in figure. F2

Testing of Fluorination
• Fluorination treatment is
quantified using Fourier
Transformation Infra
Before Fluorination
Red Spectroscopy
(FTIR). C-H bond
shows peak absorption
at 1440 – 1480 cm-1,
while C-F bond gives
peak absorbance at 930
– 1320 cm-1.
