Crystallinity, polyethylene terephthalate blow molding

Polyethylene terephthalate is most often extruded into films or fibers, or blow molded into bottles. Polybutylene terephthalate is primarily found in injection molded parts. Such parts are highly crystalline, which makes them opaque. Polybutylene terephthalate is often modified with glass fibers or impact modifiers. Table 24.1 contains applications by processing method and resin.
