  • Patent number: 9713897
    Abstract: A preform, which makes it possible to obtain PEF containers (bottles) having the awaited properties, notably mechanical, by an industrial injection stretch blow molding process, is of made of a thermoplastic PEF polymer of 2,5-FuranDiCarboxylic Acid (2,5-FDCA) monomer and monoethylene glycol (MEG) monomer and comprises a neck end 2, a neck support ring 3, and a closed tubular body portion 4. The preform is designed so as to produce, by injection stretch blow-molding, a container, the axial stretch ratio of which is greater than or equal to its hoop stretch ratio. Also provided is a plastic container 10, preferably a bottle, obtained by injection stretch blow-molding of PEF preform, the bottle 10 having an axial stretch ratio greater than or equal to the hoop stretch ratio. A method for manufacturing the bottle 10 is also provided.
