Blown away with new resin
T
otal Petrochemicals will be running its HDPE SB 1461 resin on a Sidel ISBM (injection stretch blow moulding) machine at 1,700 bottles/cavity/hour, boosting capacity, it says.Trials with the resin on other ISBMs from Sidel, like the SBO Universal, ran a high output with improved thickness distribution, says Total. Compared to EBM (extrusion blow moulding), the ISBM-produced HDPE dairy bottles are more rigid and 20% lighter, allowing for downgauging. Total will add on a new grade for household chemical and personal care bottles.
