BOTTLES

Applications

The blow moulding process for manufacturing PVC bottles operates at high speed and temperatures to ensure economical production and an attractive bottle appearance.

 

Stabiliser Requirements

Stabilisation and good lubrication of the PVC compound are therefore critical for product quality and process.

As well as being transparent, bottles are made in an extensive variety of colours, and the stabilisers have to provide the required colour stability of the bottle as well as long-term storage stability for the products packaged.

A large proportion of PVC bottles are used in food packaging for which food-contact approved stabilisers are used.
