What is the difference between a blow molding process and an injection molding process?

The blow molding products are all hollow; because of the injection molding port, the molded product will have a small and unnecessary part, and there will be a process to cut it off, but if you look carefully, you can still find it; Injection molding is a method in which a thermoplastic or thermosetting molding compound is first uniformly plasticized in a heating cylinder and then pushed by a plunger or a moving screw into a cavity of a closed mold.

 

Injection molding is suitable for most of thermoplastics. In recent years, injection molding has also been successfully used to form certain thermoset plastics. Injection molding has a short molding cycle, and the quality of molded products can range from a few grams to several tens of kilograms. It can form molded articles with complex shapes and precise dimensions with metal or non-metal inserts at one time. Therefore, the method is highly adaptable and has high production efficiency.

 

Blow molding: A method in which a hot parison closed in a mold is inflated into a hollow article by gas pressure, or a tubular parison is inflated into a tubular film. This method is mainly used in the manufacture of various packaging containers and tubular membranes.

 

IMelt blown index of 0.04~1.12 is a relatively good hollow blow molding material, such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene, thermoplastic polyester, polycarbonate, polyamide, cellulose acetate and poly An acetal resin or the like in which polyethylene is most used.

Injection Blow Molding: The plastic is first made into a bottomed parison by injection molding, and then the parison is moved into a blow mold to be blown into a hollow product.

Extrusion blow molding: The plastic is first made into a bottomed parison by extrusion, and then the parison is moved into a blow mold to be blown into a hollow product.

Stretch blow molding: Stretch blow molding is a blow molding of biaxially oriented stretching by first stretching the form longitudinally and then inflating with compressed air to achieve transverse stretching. Stretch blow molding can greatly improve the transparency, impact strength, surface hardness and rigidity of the product, and is suitable for blow molding of polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate.

Blown film method: A method of forming a thermoplastic film. The plastic is first extruded into a tube by extrusion, and then continuously expanded to a tubular film of a certain size by air blown into the tube, and then folded and wound into a double-layer flat film after cooling.

What are the main reasons for the sealing principle of plastic bottles and the effects of sealing?

The electromagnetic induction sealing machine utilizes the principle of electromagnetic induction, so that the aluminum foil on the bottle mouth of the plastic bottle instantaneously generates high heat, and then fuses on the bottle mouth to achieve the function of sealing.

The main factors affecting the seal are:

  1. The bottle mouth is uneven and has serious burrs.
  2. The mouth of the bottle has a slope, half height and half half.
  3. The height of the bottle mouth is insufficient, and the material of the gasket is not good.
  4. Sealing time and power of electromagnetic induction machine.
  5. The influence of climate temperature, different temperatures in different seasons will also have different effects on the sealing of plastic bottles.

Bottle packaging personalization is the trend

Bottle packaging personalization is the trend

With the development of artificial intelligence and all kinds of new technology during recent period of time, more and more new ideas and technology began to impact the traditional industries such as cosmetics. For cosmetics, The sale way already changed from the traditional counters to online sales then to derivative areas, and in the present, it is still in the changing constantly. personalization will become a trend in the future, which is inseparable from the packaging customization of cosmetic plastic bottle.

Therefore, in the future, with the increasing demand for customization of cosmetic plastic bottles, the cosmetic plastic bottle industry will face new changes. For those who do not have design capabilities, they will face shuffle and elimination, which is inevitable.

According to the change of trend, this trend is inevitable for cosmetic plastic bottle enterprises, so it is very important to try to embrace and change the changes in the future on the basis of the market.

What plastic bottle does silicone oil free shampoo use

When people are shopping for a new shampoo product, they are generally learning more about its ingredients, efficacy and technology. Shampoo products from the regular effect of original anti-dandruff, anti-dandruff, repair damage, anti-hair loss and so on to a more in-depth silicone oil free products.

Silicone free “is not only to remove the silicone oil, but also should consider consumer interests and enterprise sustainability.

With a brief introduction, the plastic bottle for this shampoo must be high-end, environmentally friendly and has good sealing performance. The material is usually PET and PE.

What kind of transparent plastic bottles are available in the market?

Transparent plastic bottles on the market are mainly made of PET, PP, PVC and ABS

PET is hard, good toughness, high strength, bright surface, environmentally friendly and non-toxic.PET is transparent and comes in a variety of colors.

 

The disadvantage is that high cycle heat bonding is relatively difficult and the price is slightly more expensive than PVC. This material is often required to be replaced by high-grade and environmentally friendly users. PET material is generally used to make plastic bottles for packaging food, beverage and medicine industries normally before. But now more and more cosmetics brands like to choose PET packaging as their bottle containers.

PP material: Special soft material, good toughness, environmental non-toxic and high temperature resistance, often made into food and beverage utensils or other high-temperature products packaging; But its plasticity is poor, the processing difficulty is big, the surface glossiness is poor, and the color can change when processing,which are mostly used to make one-time plastic bottle.

 

PVC material, It is soft, strong and plasticity. It can be made into transparent and various colors.

ABS material, Most ABS are non-toxic and impervious to water, but slightly water vapor, low water absorption, room temperature immersion of less than 1 percent a year and physical properties do not change.ABS resin product surface can be polished, can get high gloss products.It’s three to five times stronger than regular plastic.

Why most plastic bottles are in round shape?

Why most plastic bottles are in round shape?

Today, Most of the plastic bottles are round, only some beverage plastic bottles are square.In fact, The plasticity of plastic bottle is very strong, It not only can shape up the common variety of plastic bottle shape, but also can customize special variety of bottle shape. This is the advantage of plastic bottles that simply created by a pair of mold.

However, Some people would ask why the plastic bottles on the market are mostly round? In fact, That is because the circular plastic bottle is easy to catch, easy to carry, and does not take up space during the transportation.
This is why plastic bottles can quickly squeeze out the market share of glass packaging. We hope we will improve the round plastic bottle into another good level.

For cosmetic bottle packaging, the future trend is still lightweight, simplistic, which is the inevitable trend of the future.

The evolution of eye drop bottle packaging

        The evolution of eye drop bottle packaging

Perhaps because the eye drop products are vulnerable to the bacterial invasion after first time using, So the validity only last for a week.
Whereas the previous eye drop bottles were often between 15 and 30ML. However, It was impossible to use up within a week. It would lead to waste.
