Discussion:

In the blow molding process temperature of the parison, inflation pressure, blow-up ratio, and
temperature of the blow mold affect the properties of the final product. The temperature of the parison
directly affects the stability of the shape of the parison, the surface finish of the product, the strength of
the joint, and the cooling time.

When the performance temperature is higher, its strength decreases. Although the product is prone to
inflation and deformation, it is difficult to ensure the uniformity of the wall thickness of the product,
especially the uniformity of the longitudinal thickness of the parison. At the same time, the cooling time
of the inflation material is prolonged, and the production efficiency of the blow molding machine
decreases. Conversely, lowering the temperature of the preform can ensure that it has sufficient strength,
but blow molding will become difficult. In general, under the premise of not seriously affecting the
shape stability of the parison, to ensure that the product has sufficient surface finish and seam strength,
the temperature of the parison can be appropriately increased. The increase in blowing pressure helps the
product to be in closer contact with the mold cavity, the heat of the product can be quickly removed, and
the cooling efficiency is improved. Correspondingly, the temperature of the product during demolding
can be reduced. Increasing the blow-up ratio of the parison can produce a larger volume of products. In
other words, to produce products with the same volume, using a large inflation ratio can save raw
materials to some extent. However, as the wall thickness of the product gradually becomes thinner,
inflation molding will become more difficult, the strength and rigidity of the product will also decrease,
and the stability of the product shape will become worse.

Conversely, if the blow-up ratio is too small, the consumption of plastic will increase, the effective
volume of the product will decrease, the wall thickness of the product will increase, and it will take
longer to cool it down. This undoubtedly increases production costs and easily causes uneven wall
thickness. During production, the blow-up ratio should be determined according to the specific types and
properties of the material, the shape and size of the product, and its value is generally between 2-4.

If the mold temperature is too low, the temperature of the plastic at the nip will drop quickly, and the
parison will be cooled. markings appear on the surface of the plastic parts, the smoothness of the surface
becomes worse, and the contour and patterns of the product become unclear. If the mold temperature is
too high, the cooling setting time will be prolonged, the production cycle will be longer, and the
productivity will decrease. Also, the shrinkage rate of the part becomes larger, the size and shape are
difficult to accurately control, and the surface lacks gloss.

The mold temperature should be selected according to the type and physical properties of the plastic. For
those with higher glass transition temperature TG or heat distortion temperature TD, a higher mold
temperature can be selected. On the contrary, the mold temperature should be reduced as much as
possible.

Conclusion:

Blow molding is a process for forming hollow plastic parts. It is also used for forming bottles or other hollow
shapes. However, the process is also used for the production of toys, automobile parts, accessories, and
many other engineering components.

The findings of the experiment show that the blow-up ratio has a significant effect on the size and width of
the final product generated. There are a number of other factors to consider in order to ensure that the
product has excellent mechanical as well as optical qualities.
