Cosmetics: Technical Guide to Materials for Core Components

Component Name Recommended Materials Key Technical Parameters (Typical Values) Key Benefits and Solutions to Common Issues
High-strength plastic spring Speciality High-Crystallinity PP Flexural modulus: ≥1800 MPa 100% recyclable, rust-free: Replaces traditional stainless steel springs, addressing the issue of metal rusting and discolouration in lotions. Enables an all-plastic design, allowing for full-scale recycling without the need for disassembly.
Fatigue life: >10,000 cycles
Compressive set: <5%
Pump housing High-Gloss, High-Flow PP Gloss: ≥85% Mirror-finish appearance, precision fit: Offers a high-end, glass-like lustre, eliminating the need for secondary coating. High flowability ensures moulding in multi-cavity moulds, with tight threaded connections and 100% leak-proof performance.
Melt Flow Rate (MFR): 25–45 g/10 min
Surface hardness: R-105+
Pump core / stem / piston Slip-Modified PP Coefficient of friction: 0.15–0.20 Smooth feel, responsive action: Internal lubrication modification significantly reduces friction during pressing, providing a silky, linear dispensing experience and preventing sticking or slow rebound.
Tensile modulus: 1500 MPa
Soft nozzle / seal Random Copolymer PP or TPE/TPU Rockwell hardness: 40A–80A Skin-friendly texture, perfect seal: Offers a soft and delicate tactile sensation. Excellent compression recovery ensures the pump head maintains a vacuum seal even after prolonged inactivity, preventing the oxidation of active ingredients.
Compressive modulus: Low
Dip tube Transparent Chemical-Grade PP Tensile strength: 35 MPa Corrosion-resistant, high transparency: Optimised for high-concentration essential oils and chemical ingredients, ensuring the straw does not yellow, become brittle or develop micro-cracks even after prolonged immersion.
Environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR): >1000 h
