Plastic bottle threads

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone had any plasic bottle thread knowlage.
I'm trying to find some information on a specific type of thread. For
example a Skippy peanut butter jar has a single lead thread going
appoxamatly 405 degrees (slight overlap), and has a marking "CC4".
I'm assuming (by the looks of the jar) that the threaded part of the
blowmold can be inserted into many different types of jars, and that the CC4
designation refers to the type and configuration of the thread.
If anyone can point my to a good surce to be able to get this information, I
would be very greatful.
BTW, the designation that I'm looking for is "3D", and is 6 lead 1/4 turn
thread.

TIA,
Muggs

"Closure manufacturers association" Have fun looking for the correct
bottle top.

Perhaps a phone call to them might get you straight to the correct
standard.

Thanks Jonathan,
That's the website that I had tried to think of. I think The Other Paul
(TOP) mentioned it one time.

Thanks again. I think I'll give them a call.

I wonder if someone else put the pages "together" in a more readable
pdf format?

Probably not.
