Patent number: 11932751Abstract: A blow molded article, a method of making a blow molded article and a method of making a preform each having at least one layer comprising a thermoplastic resin and between 0.1% and 20% of an additive having a viscosity of greater than 1,000,000 cst. There is a refractive index difference of at least 0.04 between the additive and the thermoplastic resin. The high viscosity of the additive ensures even distribution of the additive within the thermoplastic resin in discrete domains, while additionally providing for a complex end look balancing opacity, gloss and depth.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Mark Lewis Agerton, Marc Andrew Mamak, John Andrew McDaniel
