A method for manufacturing a container includes injecting a first material into a first mold to form a top portion of a preform. The first material and a second material are injected into the first mold to form a bottom portion of the preform. The preform is disposed in a second mold. The preform is blow molded into a finished container.

A container including a finish, a body, and a base. The finish includes a top sealing surface, threads, and a support flange. The top sealing surface includes only a base layer. The body and the base each include an inner portion made of the base layer, an outer portion made of the base layer, and an oxygen barrier layer between the inner portion and the outer portion.

A co-injection nozzle for an injection moulding device for producing multi-layered injection-moulded products. The nozzle includes: a central bore; a valve needle for opening and closing a nozzle opening; an annular inner melt channel for the first melt; an annular central melt channel for a second melt; and an annular outer melt channel for the first melt. The inner, central and outer melt channels are fluidically combined in the region of the nozzle tip to form a concentrically-layered melt stream. The co-injection nozzle has a back-flow barrier, integrated into the central bore, for the second melt, this barrier formed by a cut-out in the valve needle and by a melt channel for the second melt, the channel penetrating the central bore. In the open position of the back-flow barrier, the cut-out is located such that the second melt can flow through the melt channel, whilst flowing in the central bore past the valve needle.

A method for producing multilayer objects from a polymer melt, especially in an injection mold, especially preforms having a barrier layer, wherein a viscosity, especially a shear speed, of the melt is determined. The viscosity, especially the shear speed, of at least one layer is determined in the injection mold and optionally monitored and/or regulated.

An apparatus and method for manufacturing a crash pad with a foaming layer formed by injecting a foaming solution between a core and a skin are disclosed. The apparatus includes a first mold and a second mold used to form the skin by injecting molten resin of a skin material into a skin forming cavity when the first and second molds are combined. In addition, a third mold and the fourth mold form the core by injecting molten resin of a core material into a core forming cavity when the third and fourth molds are combined. The first mold has a vacuum aperture in an inner surface of the first mold to adsorb and fix a thread to implement a stitch before the forming of the skin, and the vacuum aperture exerts a vacuum suctioning force to absorb and fix via a vacuum pressure applied from a vacuum pressure providing unit.

A method for manufacturing a container including: forming a preform by injection molding, the preform having a bottom portion, a body portion, and a finish portion including a top sealing surface, threads, and a support flange; forming the preform such that the top sealing surface is made of a base layer, and such that the body portion and the bottom portion are both made of the base layer and an oxygen barrier layer; and forming the container from the preform by blow molding. The top sealing surface includes only the base layer. The body portion and the bottom portion both include an inner portion made of the base layer, an outer portion made of the base layer, and an oxygen barrier layer between the inner portion and the outer portion.

A preform configured to form a container. The preform includes a finish defining an opening and a top sealing surface configured to contact a closure to seal the opening closed. A body portion extends from the finish. A bottom portion is at an end of the preform opposite to the finish. A longitudinal axis of the preform extends through an axial center of the bottom portion. An oxygen barrier layer extends along the body portion to the bottom portion and across the bottom portion. A base layer includes an outer portion and an inner portion. The oxygen barrier layer is between the outer portion and the inner portion. The oxygen barrier layer extends along the body portion and the bottom portion.
