Injection Blow Moulding (IBM) is a highly precise manufacturing plastic process used to create small to big volume, high-quality, hollow plastic containers, such as bottles, jerrycan, drum. Resin type HDPE is popular in this application.
BioGENIE® for Injection Blow Molding Grades
|
Property |
Typical Specification Range |
Importance for injection Blow |
|
Carrier Resin |
Matched to base polymer (e.g., PE carrier for PE injection moulding) |
Ensures complete compatibility and dispersion in the final product. |
|
Dosage (Let-down Ratio) |
Typically 1%, depending on required biodegradable rate |
Dictates cost-effectiveness and processing parameters. |
|
Physical Form |
Free-flowing pellets, dust-free processing |
Ensures ease of handling, clean processing, and consistent automated dosing. |
|
Melt Flow Index (MFI) |
Compatible with the base resin MFI |
Guarantees proper dispersion within the extruder without causing processing issues. |
|
Dispersion |
The additive must disperse uniformly throughout the melt |
to ensure consistent performance and appearance in the final product. |
|
Particle Size Distribution |
Typically 50 – 60 microns |
Critical for avoiding surface defects. |
|
Thermal stability |
Must withstand the high processing temperatures of injection moulding without degrading or burning |
Avoiding decompose additive during extrusion. |
