Abstract

A molding process includes flowing a polymer melt into the cavity of a mold which includes a core pin. After the mold is filled and skin layers of solidified polymer have formed adjacent the mold wall and core pin wall, the core pin is spun transversely to the direction of polymer melt flow. The invention includes hollow articles of improved mechanical properties made by the process.
