Plastic tubes have become an indispensable form of Packaging For Cosmetics and medicines

Plastic tube is convenient to use, economical and hygienic, and has become one of the main packaging varieties of cosmetics, medicine and food. Since the 1990s, China has introduced a large number of advanced composite hose production equipment from Europe, America, Japan and Taiwan Province, and the development momentum is very strong. Multilayer, thin-walled and transparent plastic composite tube is the future trend.

Whether cosmetics, medicine or food, packaging should first consider the health performance, followed by mechanical strength, as well as barrier performance, printing adaptability and chemical resistance. Of course, economy and ease of use must also be considered.

Compared with the packaging of other products, the packaging of cosmetics requires higher water and oxygen resistance. On the one hand, hydrated fats may contain molds and yeast, which will produce fat oxidation, fat hydrolysis, and oxidation into fatty acids and triglycerides. Therefore, increasing the moisture in the oil, on the one hand, will cause the hydrolysis of the oil, on the other hand, will accelerate the automatic oxidation reaction, provide a living environment for microorganisms, reduce the vitality of some antioxidants such as polyamines. In addition, some powder products to prevent the absorption of water caused by caking, hardening and deterioration, so a lot of Cosmetic Packaging needs to block the entry of water; On the other hand, some water-containing products are used to clean the skin, so they must be kept in a certain moisture content for a certain period of time, and therefore, water must be prevented from escaping. Oxygen is the main factor that causes cosmetics rancidity.

Most cosmetics contain oils and fats. Unsaturated bond in oil is easy to oxidize and cause deterioration, rancidity. As long as a small part of the unsaturated oil begins to oxidize, it will cause the complete rancidity of the oil, which will make the quality of the product decline. Therefore, in the process of production, storage and use of cosmetics, we should try our best to avoid the occurrence of grease rancidity and prevent oxygen from entering.

In general, plastic tube has advantages that are difficult to compare with other materials, so it has been used in the packaging of cosmetics and medicine since its introduction. It has become an indispensable form of packaging for cosmetics and medicines
