Container glass is formed by

  • A.casting into open moulds
  • B.press and blow, or blow and blow
  • C.the float process on molten tin
  • D.extrusion through a shaped die

Answer: B

Correct answer: press and blow, or blow and blow

A gob of molten glass is delivered to a blank mould and formed into a parison - by a plunger in press and blow, or by air in blow and blow - and the parison is then transferred to the finish mould and blown to shape. Press and blow gives better wall thickness control and so lighter bottles; blow and blow is used for narrow necks.
