Explanation:

Blow Molding: 

This is the most common method for manufacturing hollow articles from thermoplastics.

The most simple products and articles that are made by blow moulding are bottles, ventilation ducts, suitcases and fuel tanks for automobiles.

Thermoplastic:

  • Plastics that can be deformed easily upon heating and can be bent easily.
  • Linear polymers and a combination of linear and cross-linked polymers come under thermoplastics.
  • Example: PVC, nylon, polythene, etc.

Additional Information

Thermosetting Plastics

  • Plastics that cannot be softened again by heating once they are moulded.
  • Heavily cross-linked polymers come under the category of thermosetting plastics.
  • Thermosetting plastics have high melting points and tensile strength.
  • Thermosetting plastic is high in molecular weight.
  • High melting points and tensile strength signifies it is weldable plastic.
  • Example: Bakelite, melamine, etc.
