  • Injection moulding
    Patent number: 6547094
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of thin-walled articles comprising the steps of: 1) selecting a polymer blend having an ESCR of greater than 10 hours; i) a plurality (preferably 6 or more) of strips of the polymer blend incorporating any post molding treatment intended for the final article having the cross-sectional dimensions of 0.65 mm in thickness and 10 mm in width are injection molded under high shear, long flow length conditions, similar to those intended for use in the manufacture of the flexible thin-walled article; ii) the strips are bent back upon themselves and stapled 3 mm from the bend; iii) the bent strips are immersed in a solution of a stress crack agent and held at a temperature of 50° C.
