1. Plastic bottles are usually made of PP, PE, K material, AS, ABS, acrylic, PET, etc.  

2. Usually used for cosmetic containers with thick walls cream bottles, caps, stoppers, gaskets, pump heads, dust covers for injection molding; PET blow bottles for two-step molding, tube embryos for injection molding, finished packaging for blow bottles. Other bottles such as lotion bottles with thin container walls and washing bottles are blow bottles.  

3. PET is an environmentally friendly material with high barrier properties, light weight, unbreakable characteristics, chemical resistance, extremely transparent and can be made into pearlescent, coloured, magnetic white and transparent, and is widely used for jellies. The bottle mouth is generally standard 16#, 18#, 22#, 24# calibre and can be used with a pump head. 

4. Acrylic material for injection moulded bottles, chemical resistance is poor, generally can not be directly filled with cream, need to be equipped with a liner barrier, filling is not easy too full to prevent the cream into the liner and acrylic bottle between, in order to avoid cracking, transport in the packaging requirements are high, because the scratch looks particularly obvious, high permeability, the sense of the wall is particularly thick, but the price is quite expensive.  

5. AS, ABS: AS transparency is better than ABS, and toughness is better.  

6. Caps are generally equipped with internal gaskets, pull caps, internal stoppers and very few with small spoons or droppers, which are mainly considered for their tightness and ease of use.
