Term: Injection Blow Moulding
Definition:
Injection blow moulding is a process used in the packaging industry to mould plastic products. A molten polymer is injected into a mould around a core rod to form the exterior of the shape and the screw neck. The polymer is then transferred to a different mould where the core rod opens to allow compressed air in, which expands the polymer into the shape of the new mould resulting it its finished shape. Products made by the injection blow moulding process include bottles, caps and boxes.
