The Essential Guide to PET Film, Foams, and Blow Molding Technologies
Master a Range of Plastic Materials and Processes

The Handbook on Pet Film and Sheets, Urethane Foams, Flexible Foams, Rigid Foams, Speciality Plastics, Stretch Blow Moulding, Injection Blow Moulding, Injection and Co-Injection Preform Technologies equips you with in-depth knowledge of various plastic materials and their manufacturing processes. This comprehensive resource empowers you to explore the properties, applications, and production techniques behind:

PET Film and Sheets (PET): PET, or polyethylene terephthalate, is a versatile thermoplastic widely used for its exceptional qualities, including:

Durability: Excellent wear resistance and high flexural modulus make it ideal for mechanical and electro-mechanical parts.
Sustainability: Fully recyclable and readily reprocessed into new products.
Diverse Applications: PET finds applications in packaging (food & beverages), electronics, and automotive industries due to its dimensional stability and clarity.

Urethane Foams (Flexible & Rigid): Urethane foams offer a broad range of properties depending on their type:
Flexible foams: Provide cushioning and support in applications like furniture, bedding, and packaging.
Rigid foams: Deliver excellent thermal and sound insulation properties, making them valuable in construction and appliances.
Specialty Plastics:
This category encompasses various high-performance plastic materials tailored for specific applications.

Blow Molding Technologies:
The book explores three primary blow molding techniques:

Stretch Blow Molding (SBM): Creates lightweight, high-containment containers like plastic bottles.
Injection Blow Molding (IBM): Produces hollow plastic parts with complex shapes and precise neck finishes.
Injection and Co-Injection Preform Technologies: Enables the creation of multi-layered preforms for advanced blow molding applications.
