A process for blow moulding a vessel (1) from a heated plastic preform (2) which preform is itself pre-formed by a gas which is blown into the preform at low pressure of between 2 bar and 15 bar with an accompanying increase in its internal volume and the pre-formed preform is then shaped into its definitive form by ignition of a blown-in, combustible gas by the higher blowing pressure arising during the combustion, wherein a precursor material comprising silicon, magnesium, aluminum, titanium, zinc, zirconium, boron, cerium, calcium, tin or mixtures thereof is applied in the form of a gas, vapour, mist or a ductile solid as prelayer to the inner surface of the preform (2) before the pre-forming of the vessel (1) at low pressure, oxygen-containing, flammable gas mixture is then introduced into the preform (2) and ignited, whereby the preform (2) is shaped into a final vessel definitive form by the higher blowing pressure arising during the combustion and simultaneously a coating comprised of silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, titanium nitride, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, boron oxide, cerium oxide, calcium oxide, tin oxide or mixtures thereof is formed on an inner surface of the vessel.
