Stretch Blow Molding and Its Different Applications

Stretch blow molding is a manufacturing process that’s well suited for different applications across a broad range of industry sectors.

Blow molding is an engineering procedure in which hollow plastic forms such as water bottles and juice bottles are formed. Stretch blow molding is one type of blow molding that allows the preformed products – in this example that being bottles – to be manufactured into high-quality bottles with high clarity – and the full scope of stretch blow molding allows for an extensive and diverse number of uses. Stretch blow molding is most often used for making plastic bottles for water, juice, carbonated beverages, and a variety of other products such as liquid soaps and detergents. 

The primary advantage to stretch blow molding is that it is known for bi-axial stretching (that is, having two axes). There are significant benefits to this process. For example, it makes for improved barrier properties, better clarity of the formed container, improves the malleable strength of the container, and also makes for acceptable impact tolerances. This all means that there’s an increase in the strength of the container along with a reduction in the weight of the container of roughly 10 to 15 percent (as opposed to other production methods). This in turn translates to cost savings while producing high-quality, attractive containers.
