Take the degreaser spray bottle as an example

The degreaser spray bottle contains degreasers, which are mainly used to remove oil stains from the surface of objects. Degreasers are very dangerous and can cause harm to the body if used improperly. That is why they should be stored in a very appropriate way and away from food and the human body.
It is very appropriate to store degreasers in aluminum bottles. The packaging bottle of the degreaser cannot be a wide-mouth bottle, but must be a spray bottle, which not only makes the spraying effect better, but also ensures the safety of the user.

Degreasers are widely used in kitchens, bathroom windows and cars. Not only can they remove oil, but also any other dirt. The fumes generated in the kitchen, the dirt on the glass panels and cabinets in the bathroom, the dust on the windows caused by car driving, decoration and engineering construction, and the stains of life such as the car clutch and engine. The spray bottle degreaser can perfectly remove them. Just spray it lightly, wipe the surface with a clean rag, and finally rinse it with clean water. You will find that they become clean as new.
The size of the aluminum spray bottle can be freely selected. The large-capacity products will be more durable, and the small size will be more convenient to use. If you want it to be both economical and convenient to use, you can buy two sizes at the same time. The small-capacity product can be refilled after use.

How Aluminum Spray Bottles Work

The manufacturing principle of the spray bottle is to form a high-pressure system in the bottle, and the liquid in the bottle is sprayed out in the form of extremely fine water particles in the form of high pressure drop. We only need to gently press the trigger or spray pump, and the object inside will be sprayed in the form of mist to where we need it.

The bottle will be used with different pump heads. Depending on the needs of the product, there can be lotion pumps, spray pumps, foam pumps, etc. The pump head used for mousse is a foam pump, the spray pump is often used in products such as sunscreen, moisturizing and floral water, and the lotion pump is used in products such as shampoo and shower gel.

Challenges of Aluminum Personal Care Packaging

Environmentally friendly materials will cost more, which will reduce product profits.

More and more companies are turning to aluminum packaging materials, leading to fierce market competition.

The requirements for printing technology are higher, and companies need to continuously improve their capabilities to meet the needs of the market and consumers.

Some consumers prefer the original plastic packaging bottles, believing that aluminum packaging is expensive and may be harmful to the body.

Just like water bottles, in the potential impression of most traditional consumers, the preferred material is glass or plastic. It will take some time for everyone to accept and like aluminum packaging for personal care products. Manufacturers and major product sales companies need to do more publicity to inform the public of the advantages of aluminum packaging, and this is in line with the trend of social development.
