Optimisation of petaloid base dimensions and process operating conditions to minimize environmental stress cracking in injection stretch blow moulded PET bottles

Injection stretch blow moulded PET bottles are the most widely used container type for carbonated soft drinks. PET offers excellent clarity, good mechanical and barrier properties, and ease of processing. Typically, these bottles have a petaloid-shaped base, which gives good stability to the bottle...
