  • Extrusion blow molded articles
    Patent number: 8604138
    Abstract: Extrusion blow molded (EBM) articles comprising a polyester having a dicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component. The dicarboxylic acid component comprises at least 90 mole % terephthalic acid residues. The glycol component comprises at least 75 mole % ethylene glycol residues and 15 to 25 mole % residues of a difunctional glycol such as, for example, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Such EBM articles can exhibit reduced haze, reduced sharkskin, and/or increased compatibility in PET recycling.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 10, 2013
    Assignee: Eastman Chemical Company
    Inventors: Thomas Joseph Pecorini, Spencer Allen Gilliam, Ignacio Garcia, Alan Keith Phillips, Robert Ellis McCrary, Mark Allan Treece, Daniel Christopher Cobb, Harold Eugene Dobbs

  • Plastic baby bottles, other blow molded articles, and processes for their manufacture
    Patent number: 8501287
    Abstract: The invention is generally directed to baby bottles and other articles produced by blow molding from polymeric materials having glass transition temperatures ranging from 100° C. to 130° C., as well as to processes for producing them. These articles can be exposed to boiling water and can be produced by using a suitable combination of a stretch ratio of less than 3 and a preform temperature at least 20° C. greater than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymeric material.
