The object of the present invention is to provide a
bottle made of a
thermoplastic material (e.g., PET) that provides an optimal balance between mechanical properties and lightweight, particularly due to its bottom. To achieve this, the
bottle according to the invention comprises a bottom (2), a body (3), and a neck (4). The bottom (2) comprises: - a dome (9), - a crown-shaped arch (12), - an annular base (13), - sidewalls (14), - six radial main grooves (16), - five radial secondary grooves (7) located between the main grooves (16), each radial secondary groove having an end Ev located in the arch (12) and a
peripheral end Ep located in the sidewalls (14). The bottom (2) is such that the ratio Mf / Vuf is less than or equal to 0.050 g / ml, where Mf is the weight of the bottom and Vuf is the
available volume of the bottom (2), and such that the ratio is greater than or equal to 4.4, where the base of the dome (9) (P) is the weight of the bottom and Vuf is the
available volume of the bottom (2), and ... base of the dome (9) (P) is the base of the bottom (P) and V B The
diameter of H do (P A According to 1, the present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the aforementioned
bottle and a mold.
