Molding is the process of manufacturing by shaping liquid or pliable raw
material using a rigid frame called a mold or matrix. This itself may have
been made using a pattern or model of the final object.

A mold or mould is a hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid or

pliable material like plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw materials. The
liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. A mold is the
counterpart to a cast. The very common bi-valve molding process uses
two molds, one for each half of the object. Piece-molding uses a
number of different molds, each creating a section of a complicated
object. This is generally only used for larger and more valuable objects.
Introduction
Plastic formation process-manufacture of bottles and hollow-
shaped parts
Competitive with other processes, injection molding
Advantages; cycle is very short (low cost), lower mold cost than
injection molding, high production rates in producing hollow parts
with small or large opening
Historical Development

Year Development

1930 The first applications for blow molding were for cellulose nitrate
1940 Introduction of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene ). With LDPE, the
plastic industry growth rapidly

1942 The first polyethylene bottle was manufactured using the blow
molding process

1950 The demand for blow moulding increases by the mass production of
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polypropylene (PP) for
various applications
 Common plastics for blow molding

HDPE (stiff bottle, toys, cases, drum)

LDPE (flexible bottle)
PP (higher temperature bottle)
PVC (clear bottle, oil resistant containers)
PET (soda pop bottle)
Nylon (automotive coolant bottle, power steering reservoir)
The principle of blow molding

A simple explanation of the principle of blow molding is similar to inflating a

balloon
