Over the years, numerous handbooks and design guides on the subject of plastics have been published. None of these dealt in any depth with the subject of this handbook-blow molding. The recent growth of blow molding as an economically feasible process has been rapid in many areas. This growth, coupled with the lack of technical publications relating to blow molding, prompted the Board of Directors of the Blow Molding Division of the Society of Plastic Engineers to undertake the assimilation of available information and the editing of this milestone publication. We believe that this Plastic Blow Molding Handbook will provide the reader with a greater understanding of the unique process characteristics of blow molding, enable the reader to apply proven techniques in developing new products and applications for blow molding, and will serve as a valuable reference for all who are interested in the plastics industry. Our thanks are heartily extended to the various authors for their con tributions to this pioneering effort in blow molding. J. H. Moran Chairman Blow Molding Division Society of Plastic Engineers xi Preface The blow molding of plastic articles has in the past had an aura of the mystic around it. As a result, little comprehensive work on the subject has been published. Advances in the technology of polymeric materials, machine controls, computer science, and management techniques have made it nec essary to correct the myths and magic.

Every successful manufacturer of blow molded products faces the challenge of utilizing advanced techniques which demand an understanding of the different plastic melt flow behaviors, operational monitoring and control systems, testing and quality control, statistical analysis, and so on. However, these techniques are only helpful if the basic operations of molding are understood to ensure the elimination or a significant reduction of potential problems. This second edition of Blow Molding Handbook - an industry standard for more than a decade - provides insight to critical areas such as: product design meeting performance requirements reducing costs zero defect targets The information contained in this volume is of value to even the most experienced fabricators, designers, and engineers; it also provides a firm basis for the beginner. The intent is to provide a complete review of the important aspects of the blow molding process that goes from the practical to the theoretical, and from the elementary to the advanced.

This third edition has been written to thoroughly update the coverage of injection molding in the World of Plastics. There have been changes, including extensive additions, to over 50% of the content of the second edition. Many examples are provided of processing different plastics and relating the results to critiCal factors, which range from product design to meeting performance requirements to reducing costs to zero-defect targets. Changes have not been made that concern what is basic to injection molding. However, more basic information has been added concerning present and future developments, resulting in the book being more useful for a long time to come. Detailed explanations and interpretation of individual subjects (more than 1500) are provided, using a total of 914 figures and 209 tables. Throughout the book there is extensive information on problems and solutions as well as extensive cross referencing on its many different subjects. This book represents the ENCYCLOPEDIA on IM, as is evident from its extensive and detailed text that follows from its lengthy Table of CONTENTS and INDEX with over 5200 entries. The worldwide industry encompasses many hundreds of useful plastic-related computer programs. This book lists these programs (ranging from operational training to product design to molding to marketing) and explains them briefly, but no program or series of programs can provide the details obtained and the extent of information contained in this single sourcebook.
