 Blow Molding technique
- Definition:
is a plastic-forming technique used to create hollow plastic items out of
thermoplastics. This method involves shaping the intended product by inflating
a heated plastic tube, known as a parison or preform, inside a mold. By injecting
air, the tube expands, providing thin walls that cling to the mold’s shape.
- Manufacturing Process Steps:

-Types of Polymer Used for Blow Molding:

polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), PET, or polyethylene terephthalate,
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) , polycarbonate (PC)
 Extrusion technique
- Definition:
Plastic extrusion is a large-scale manufacturing process that yields continuous

products with uniform cross-sections.

- Manufacturing Process Steps:
1. Material Preparation
2. Melting and Mixing
3. Extrusion Process
4. Cooling and Sizing
5. Hauling and Cutting
6. Additional Processing
7. Inspection and Quality Control

-The Materials That Can Be Used in Plastic

Extrusion:
1. Polyethylene (PE)
2. Polypropylene (PP)
3. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
4. Polystyrene (PS)
5. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
6. Polyamide (PA or Nylon)
7. Polycarbonate (PC)
8. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
