METHOD FOR PRODUCING PLASTIC CONTAINERS BY STRETCH BLOW MOLDING, PREFORM, CONTAINER AND USE OF SUCH A CONTAINER
The invention relates to the production of hollow plastic containers (2) comprising a narrow opening (2a) and a body (2b) having a base (10) and at least one side wall extending longitudinally between the narrow opening and the base, such as bottles or similar, from a multi polyester preforms by means of stretch blow molding. A blend of polyethylene terephtalate (PET) and polytrimethylene terephtalate (PTT), with a weight proportion of PTT in the range 5-50% is injected to obtain the preform (1). The body (5) of the preform is subjected to an overall stretching ratio comprised between 16 and 50, whereby the weight of the container produced by stretch -blow molding may be reduced. A preform for implementation of the process, a hollow plastic container and a use of the hollow plastic container are also described.

The invention concerns an injecting/blowing device comprising at least one mold for injecting a thin-walled hollow preform capable of being transformed into a more voluminous hollow body by blowing, said mold including a counter mold defining the inner surface of the cavity, a core located in the cavity and spaced apart from said inner surface, a preform impression located between the counter mold inner surface and the core, and which will receive the melt, at least two main preferential flow channels (CEP) optionally at least two secondary preferential flow channels (CEP), each CEP being delimited by at least one recessed zone at the surface of the core and the inner surface of the cavity. Said device is characterized in that: the main CEP are located only at the impression zone corresponding to the zone for transforming the preform; and in that the optional secondary CEP are discontinuous, distinct from the main CEP, and located at the impression zone corresponding to the base and/or the body and/or the ring of the preform.
