Upon manufacturing a heat-resistant container using PET sheet, high heat-resistance is achieved without a stretching operation. The method comprises a molding sheet-making process, wherein a sheet is made including organic acid metal salt particulates produced by allowing an inorganic basic material or carbonate that is solid at ordinary temperature to react with an organic acid that is solid at ordinary temperature in the equivalent relationship, and a container-molding process, wherein, the molding sheet made in the molding sheet-making process is heated to 80-130° C., formed into a container shape by a vacuum or vacuum-pressure forming machine using a mold, and heat-set by keeping at 130-220° C. in the same mold, and the container formed in the container-molding process has a crystallinity of 18% or more.

A method of producing a brush for the cleaning of electronic components. In this method, a plastic core is prepared and submerged into a solvent to melt the outer surface of the core. While the outer surface of the plastic core is still partially melted, it is rolled through a trough of powdered polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) such that granules of PVA melt into and subsequently become embedded at the outer surface. As the solvent evaporates, the outer surface of the core re-hardens and the granules of PVA become firmly entrapped at the outer surface. The PVA covered shaft is placed in a mold, which is then filled with a PVA solution. As the solution cures, it forms a strong bond with the PVA granules that are embedded at the surface of the plastic core. Thereafter, the mold components are disassembled, leaving behind the finished cored brush.

A plastic aerosol container includes a main body portion that is constructed and arranged to withstand aerosol pressurization within a range that is about 50-300 psig. The plastic aerosol container also includes a finish portion that is unitary with the main body portion. The finish portion may be threaded or unthreaded. The finish portion has a side wall, an upper sealing surface, at least one helical thread and a support ledge beneath the helical thread. Reinforcement structure is positioned beneath the support ledge for reinforcing the finish portion against deformation due to the pressurization. A method of stabilizing a plastic aerosol container is also disclosed.

A blow mold for PET bottles has the inner surface which contacts the hot PET during the blowing operation, coated with a layer of ceramic material having a nanometric thickness, of which at least one thickness layer is AI.sub.2O.sub.3 and/or TiO2 deposited by ALD technique. Due to this technique, the PET preforms are subject to less friction during the contact with the interior of the mold.

A plastic blank includes a blank structure. The blank structure includes an elongate body portion and a head portion. One of two ends of the body portion is closed, and the head portion is connected to the other end of the body portion. The body portion has a space therein. The head portion has an opening communicating with the space. The outer periphery of the body portion is even so that a stick having product labelling can be attached onto the outer periphery of the body portion. The inner periphery of the body portion has a plurality of ribs protruded inward the space and extending along the body portion to improve the structural strength of the body portion along the length direction.
