Blow Molding
Blow Molding gives the processor the ability to produce complex hollow shapes that are lightweight and have excellent stiffness to weight ratios. In comparison to injection molding, the blow molding process exhibits a low-pressure process, double wall constructions and an ability to control outer dimensions (mold) and wall thickness. Extrusion Blow Molding allows the manufacture of very large parts, or of multiple smaller parts in a single operation. SABIC Innovative Plastics resins such as NORYL*, NORYL*GTX, LEXAN, CYCOLAC, CYCOLOY, ULTEM, VALOX, XYLEX and XENOY are currently used in blow molding applications today providing engineering solutions to meet challenging customer requirements.
With over 40 years of experience in developing cutting edge thermoplastics technology, SABIC Innovative Plastics is now a committed supplier to the blow molding industry, with a product portfolio that expands the range of performance, processing and aesthetic options for various blow molding applications. We continue today to pioneer state-of-the-art materials and process technologies for this market.
