Abstract
By coating an inner surface of a preform, in which at least an inner surface is made of polyester and which has transparency, with a coating layer, which has elongation capacity and water insolubility, the inner surface of the preform is protected against a pressurized liquid by the coating layer when the pressurized liquid is supplied to the preform, and occurrence of cloudiness on an inner surface of a container after molding is prevented even in a case where a liquid having properties of eroding polyester and causing cloudiness on a polyester surface is used as the pressurized liquid during liquid blow molding.
Claims7
A method of producing a container, comprising:
- a preform molding step of molding a preform in which at least an inner surface is made of polyester and which has transparency;
- a coating step of coating the inner surface of the preform with a coating layer having elongation capacity and water insolubility;
- and
- a liquid blow molding step of molding the preform into the container having a predetermined shape by supplying a pressurized liquid into the preform in which the inner surface is coated with the coating layer, wherein in the liquid blow molding step, an erosive liquid is used as the pressurized liquid, and wherein the erosive liquid contains a component at greater than or equal to a predetermined percentage by weight concentration so as to erode, polyester and cause cloudiness on a polyester surface,
- wherein the coating step is performed after the preform molding step, and the inner surface of the preform formed in the preform molding step is coated with the coating layer in the coating step.
