Abstract
The stretch blow moulding process is used to produce high-quality bottles o
f polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with outstanding mechanical, optical and
barrier properties, combined with low weight. The ongoing substitution of
metal and glass packagings by stretch blow moulded PET bottles has led to a
n annual growth rate of nearly 16% over the last few years, and even higher
growth is expected in the coming years.
