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 |
