Introduction to plastic packaging materials for skin care products

Advantages:

• Plastic has low density, light weight, and can be transparent or opaque. High transparency (with the transparency of glass).
• Easy to form and process. Different types of containers can be obtained by simply changing the mold, and mass production is easy.
• Good packaging effect, many plastic varieties, easy to color, bright colors, different types of packaging containers can be made according to needs
• It has good corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, oil resistance, and impact resistance; and has good mechanical strength.

Disadvantages:

• Plastics are easily deformed at high temperatures, so the operating temperature is limited
• The container surface has low hardness and is easily worn or scratched
• Under the action of light and heat, plastics will degrade, become brittle, and experience performance degradation
• Poor conductivity, prone to static electricity accumulation, etc.

Classification:

1. Classification by raw material properties: mainly polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyester, polycarbonate and other containers. 2.
2. Molding methods include blow molding, extrusion molding, injection molding, stretch molding, rotational molding, vacuum molding and other containers.
