Blow Molded Plastics

Blow Molded Plastics

Blow molded plastics are plastics that have been formed through the process of blow molding. They can be formed through extrusion, injection and stretch blow molding. Extruded blow molded plastics are made in a variety of container shapes and sizes, and are often used for many kinds of handleware. Injected blow molded parts are used for smaller containers. Blow molded plastics that are made from stretch blow molding are used for narrow mouth water bottles, liquor bottles, wide mouth peanut butter jars and more.

Blow molded plastic parts are hollow and can be formed into almost any shape, size or thickness. Along with diverse shapes, many plastic materials are also used, such as acrylic, polypropylene and ABS. Examples of blow molded plastics include plastic bottles, caps, containers, folding tables or chairs, boxes and plastic drums. Panel radiators, heaters, ventilators and air conditioners usually have blow molded plastics as mounting accessories or parts.

Because the blow molding process is low in cost, blow molded plastics are often a very affordable option. They are also ideal because of the fast cycle time and because in many cases, multiple individual parts can be replaced by one blow molded plastic piece.
