Abstract
A method for coating glass containers provides improved tensile strength (hence improved resistance to internal pressure). The method lends itself in particular to implementation as part of a continuous production process by utilising residual heat from the bottle casting step. The use of residual heat from an existing process offer considerable environmental benefits.
