Although these process aids do not directly benefit preform manufacturers, who produce the initial plastic preforms, the advantages are realized at the bottle blower stage, where the preforms are heated and blown into their final bottle shapes. Bottle Quality: Bottle-blowing process aids can improve material distribution within the bottle. While these machines clearly measure energy savings (15–30%), they do not provide material distribution values.
