Definitions for various terms related to plastics technology, including migration, coextrusion, blow molding, and foams. Topics covered include the transfer of substances from packaging materials, the impact of migration on shelf life, the process of coextrusion, the use of tie layers, and the production of plastic containers through blow molding and foam technologies. Students of plastics engineering, materials science, and packaging technology may find this information useful for exam preparation, summaries, or study notes.

transfer of migrants (monomers, solvent residual catalyst additives) from the packaging material into the packaging product TERM 2
DEFINITION 2 the quantity of migration TERM 3
DEFINITION 3 transfer of certain substances that have transferred. TERM 4
DEFINITION 4 sensory quality adhesive, ink, pigments, printing solvents examples - milk cream printing solventsdesired migration substances such as antioxidants like vitamin E TERM 5
DEFINITION 5 initial amount of the migrantequilibrium partition coefficient b/t the plastic and the fund
permeance (R) gas transmission rate (GTR) water vapor transmission rate TERM 7
DEFINITION 7 quantity of permeant flowing per unit area per unit timefor water = water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) TERM 8
DEFINITION 8 chemical structure of there polymerchemical structure of the permeant moleculehumiditytemperaturephysical properties of the polymerpermeant concentration TERM 9
DEFINITION 9 D = diffusion coefficient - measure of how fast a penetrant will have within a polymerS = solubility coefficient - gives the amount of penetrant sorbed by the polymer from the contracting phaseP = permeability coefficient - shows the barrier characteristics of a polymer TERM 10
DEFINITION 10 p = permeability coefficient (low p=good barrier)D = diffusion coefficient - measure of how fast a penetrant will have within a polymerS = solubility coefficient - gives the amount of penetrant sorbed by the polymer from the contracting phaseq = amount of permeant transferred through the plastic filmA = area of the plastic filml = thickness of the filmt = timechange p = pressure difference
usually nearly the same as the diameter of the container finishcontainer with offset neck/handle require a wider parisonrecommended 4 to 1 container diameter to praise die TERM 17
DEFINITION 17 extrusion of a hollow plastic tube or parison in downward directionclosing the 2 halves of the mold around the tubeinsert blow pinblow airexpansioncool down of mold with waterejecttrim flashmelt strength * dimesnions/ratio TERM 18
DEFINITION 18 thermoforming bottles made of sheet - multilayers not worried about melt strength TERM 19
DEFINITION 19 process in which air pressure is used to shape the inside of the object while the mold shapes outside TERM 20
DEFINITION 20 cannot be produced by injection blow molding
injection blow moldingextrusion blow molding TERM 22
DEFINITION 22 process by which combines the extrusion of a parison with blow molding of the finished container TERM 23
DEFINITION 23 more expensive than injectionmost economical process for making plastic bottles except really small bottles (<200 ml)accurate control of of container wall thickness as not as good as it is for IBM
DEFINITION 24 production of preform by injection molding or extrusion blow moldingpreform conditioned just above the Tg of the material bottle Finnish maintained coolpreform placed in the moldblow moldingbiaxial strength of the materialTb/Tg and Tm TERM 25
