What are the materials used for cosmetic jars?

The cosmetic jars launched by well-known cosmetic companies in the market have almost always become the trendsetter of the industry and are copied by small and medium-sized cosmetic factories. A good appearance adds a lot of charm to cosmetics, and the choice of good materials for cosmetic jars can provide higher security for cosmetics, and more praise for the company. So, what are the materials used for cosmetic jars? In this article, we will introduce several common materials used for cosmetic jars.

PET material

PE material

PP material

PLA material

PET material

PET, or polyester, is a polymer compound. It is produced by the condensation of terephthalic acid (PTA) and ethylene glycol (EG) to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET), part of which is then finally produced by underwater pelletizing. Fiber-grade polyester chips are used to manufacture polyester staple fiber and polyester filament, is supplied to polyester fiber enterprises to process fibers and related products raw materials, polyester is the largest producer of chemical fiber species, occupying nearly 80% of the chemical fiber industry market share, so the polyester series of market changes and development trends are the focus of attention of the chemical fiber industry. At the same time, there are bottles, films, and other uses of polyester, widely used in the packaging industry, electronics and electrical appliances, medical and health, construction, automotive, and other fields, of which packaging is the largest non-fiber application market for polyester, but also the fastest-growing area of PET. It can be said that polyester chips are an important intermediate product connecting petrochemical products and products in many industries.

PE material

Polyethylene, or PE for short, is a thermoplastic resin made by the polymerization of ethylene. In industry, it also includes copolymers of ethylene with small amounts of alpha-olefins. Polyethylene is odorless, non-toxic, feels like wax, has excellent low-temperature resistance, the minimum use temperature can reach -100 ~ -70 ° C, has good chemical stability, can resist the erosion of most acids and bases, but is not resistant to acids with oxidizing properties. It is insoluble in general solvents at room temperature, with small water absorption and excellent electrical insulation. It is a plastic raw material commonly used in the cosmetic packaging industry.

PP material

PP is the abbreviation of polypropylene, which is a polymer made of propylene by a polymerization reaction. It is a white waxy material, transparent and light in appearance. Polypropylene is flammable, with a melting point of 189℃, softening at about 155℃, and a use temperature range of -30 to 140℃. It can resist the corrosion of acid, alkali, salt liquid, and many kinds of organic solvents below 80℃, and can decompose under the effect of high temperature and oxidation. Polypropylene is widely used in the production of garments, blankets, and other fiber products, medical equipment, automobiles, bicycles, parts, conveying pipes, chemical containers, etc. It is also used in food and drug packaging and is one of the common packaging materials in the cosmetic packaging industry.

PLA material

PLA is polylactic acid, also known as polypropylene cross-ester, is a polyester polymer obtained by polymerizing lactic acid as the main raw material, which is a new type of biodegradable material. PLA material is made of plant starch, which is an environmentally friendly and non-polluting material. It is a biodegradable plant resource that degrades into water and carbon dioxide is not emitted into the air and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.

PLA does not subconsciously alter human genes and can be used by pregnant women and children.
