Zusammenfassung:Improved processes for making plastic articles, such as carbonated beverage bottles made from PET, are disclosed. The process includes the step of molding a preform which comprises thermoplastic resin and glass pellets that are substantially uniformly dispersed in the resin. By including the glass pellets, the preform can be more easily and efficiently reheated, if necessary during production. Because the glass pellets are retained in a substantially uniform dispersion in the blown article, the article is not subject to electrostatic adhesion to other articles following release from the blow mold.
