Abstract
Provided are scratch-resistant blow moldings of crystalline resin having good surface gloss of at least 80% and high surface hardness of at least HB. A crystalline resin melt parison is blown in a blow mold into a blow-molded article, where the temperature of the inner wall of the mold falls between 20° C. lower than the crystallization temperature of the crystalline resin and 5° C. lower than the melting point of the crystalline resin; then, a pressure fluid is introduced into the pinched parison; then the mold is heated to a temperature lower by 10° C. than the melting point of the crystalline resin and a temperature below the melting point of the crystalline resin.

A blow molding of crystalline resin, of which the surface gloss is at least 80% measured at an incident angle of 600 according to JIS K7105, and of which the surface scratch resistance in terms of the pencil hardness measured in a pencil scratch test according to JIS K5400 is at least on the level of HB.
A method for producing blow moldings, which comprises preparing a crystalline resin melt parison in the space of a blow mold, clamping the mold, and introducing a pressure fluid into the parison to blow and tightly press the parison against the inner wall of the mold, thereby solidifying the parison along the wall;
- the method being characterized in that the temperature of the inner wall of the mold is so controlled that it falls between a temperature lower by 20° C. than the crystallization temperature of the crystalline resin and a temperature below the temperature lower by 5° C. than the melting point of the crystalline resin, while the parison is prepared in the mold, and that, after the mold has been clamped to pinch the parison therein, a pressure fluid is introduced into the thus-pinched parison, then the mold with the parison therein is so heated that the temperature of its inner wall falls between a temperature lower by 10° C. than the melting point of the crystalline resin and a temperature below the melting point of the crystalline resin, the parison is kept in the mold at the controlled temperature falling between a temperature lower by 10° C. than the melting point of the crystalline resin and a temperature below the melting point of the crystalline resin for a satisfactory period of time enough for the thus blow-molded article of the parison to have a surface hardness of not lower than the level of HB in terms of the pencil hardness measured in a pencil scratch test, and finally the mold is cooled and the blow-molded article is released from the mold.
