This disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a polymer container according to a blow molding or stretch blow molding process, in which the base of the blow mold has at least one orifice for pressurized gas to enter the blow mold through the base. Introducing pressurized gas through the orifice in the blow mold base provides cooling assistance within the gas mold, much earlier than the cooling using conventional methods, which can reduce or eliminate the need for any post mold cooling. This method has been found to be applicable to non-hot fill application bottle and container manufacture.

A biaxial stretch blow molding device comprises: a first guide shaft which is erected on an upper base and to which a blow core fixing member is slidably coupled; a second guide shaft erected on the stretch rod fixing member; a support member fixed to the first guide shaft and provided with a guide hole through which the second guide shaft is slidably inserted; a first drive device that moves the blow core fixing member forward and backward independently of the stretch rod fixing member; and a second drive device that moves the stretch rod fixing member forward and backward independently of the blow core fixing member.

A molded article removing device for removing a small and lightweight molded article from a molding machine includes: a first removing member receiving the molded article from a removing unit of the molding machine; a second removing member receiving the molded article from the first removing member; a first drive mechanism moving the first removing member in a horizontal direction; and a second drive mechanism moving the second removing member in a vertical direction, each of the first removing member and the second removing member includes: an accommodating portion accommodating the molded article; and a shutter plate sliding in the horizontal direction to open and close the accommodating portion, and the molded article is accommodated in the accommodating portion in a state where the accommodating portion is closed, and is dropped from the accommodating portion by opening the accommodating portion.

A polymer composition comprises a thermoplastic polymer, a polymer additive selected from the group consisting of nucleating agents, clarifying agents, and combinations thereof, and a fluoropolymer. A molded article comprises at least one wall defining a cavity, the wall having an opening therein permitting access to the cavity. The wall comprises a polymer composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer, a polymer additive selected from the group consisting of nucleating agents, clarifying agents, and combinations thereof, and a fluoropolymer. A method for molding a polymer composition is also provided.
