Abstract
Abstract A method of making multilayered hollow plastic containers having improved resistance to permeation by unwanted gases, especially injection blow molded containers having a preformed inner lining which is applied to a core prior to the formation of the composite parison. One layer is a barrier plastic having substantial but incomplete resistance to gas permeation, and another layer contains a getter material capable of binding unwanted gas uniformly dispersed throughout. The resultant improved container is characterized by having improved resistance to gas permeation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
In the method of making multilayered hollow plastic containers having improved resistance to gas permeation wherein a parison is formed on a core in a parison mold by molding the plastic around said core in a parison mold cavity and wherein the parison is subsequently expanded in a blow mold, the improvement which comprises: providing a laminated sleeve of a first plastic carrier layer containing a getter material capable of binding unwanted gas and a second barrier plastic layer having substantial but incomplete resistance to gas permeation; applying said sleeve to said core; molding a plastic material around said sleeve and core; and expanding the sleeve and molded plastic together in a blow mold to form a hollow plastic container having improved resistance to gas permeation, wherein successive stations are used to apply said sleeve to said core, to mold a plastic around said sleeve, and to expand the sleeve and molded plastic together.
