The PP material is relatively lightweight, giving PP vacuum bottles a distinct advantage in terms of weight. This feature makes them easy to carry and use, especially suitable for people to carry during travel and outdoor activities. Consumers can easily put them into backpacks or handbags and use the products inside anytime, anywhere, without feeling burdened by the weight of the bottles.
Transparency
The PP material has good transparency, which can clearly display the color and texture of the products inside the bottle. When purchasing products, consumers can directly observe the state of the products through the bottle body, providing a clear view, and increasing the attractiveness and credibility of the products. For some products with unique colors or textures, such as colorful essences and delicate lotions, the transparency of PP vacuum bottles can better showcase the charm of the products and stimulate consumers' desire to purchase.
High Plasticity
The PP material is easy to process and form, which brings great flexibility to the design and manufacture of vacuum bottles. Manufacturers can make the PP material into vacuum bottles of various shapes and sizes according to the packaging requirements of different products, meeting the diverse needs of the market. Whether it is a simple square bottle, a round bottle, or a special-shaped bottle with a unique shape, the PP material can easily achieve it, adding a unique visual effect to product packaging.
Environmental Protection Characteristics
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the environmental advantages of PP material have become more and more prominent. It is a recyclable plastic that meets environmental protection requirements. Using PP material to make vacuum bottles helps reduce the impact of plastic waste on the environment and contributes to sustainable development. After using PP vacuum bottles, consumers can put them into recyclable trash bins. Through recycling and reuse, resource recycling can be achieved, reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution.
Cost - effectiveness
Compared with some other high - end materials, the cost of PP material is relatively low. This makes PP vacuum bottles more competitive in price and able to meet the needs of the general consumer population. For enterprises, using PP vacuum bottles as packaging materials can reduce production costs while ensuring product quality and packaging effects, enhance the market competitiveness of products, and achieve a win - win situation for economic and social benefits.
II. Working Principle of PP Vacuum Bottles
The design of PP vacuum bottles is ingenious, and their working principle is based on the pressure difference of gases. Take the common PP vacuum bottles with a pump head as an example. When the pump head is pressed, the corrugated tube (retractable plastic tube) inside the bottle will move up and down accordingly. During this process, the upper valve and the lower valve will open and close correspondingly, making the gas pressure inside the bottle lower than that outside. At this time, the external air pressure will push the piston upward, generating thrust to squeeze out products such as lotion inside the bottle. Different from traditional vacuum bottles, some advanced PP vacuum bottles abandon components such as slingshots and steel balls that are easily corroded by lotions and adopt an all - plastic structure, further improving the stability and durability of the products. In addition, the pump heads of some PP vacuum bottles are equipped with valves at the lotion outlet. The valves will only open when the lotion is squeezed and automatically close after extrusion, minimizing the contact between the products inside the bottle and the air, fully exerting the "vacuum" effect of the vacuum bottles, and effectively extending the shelf life of the products.
III. Wide Range of Application Fields
Cosmetics and Skin Care Products Industry
PP vacuum bottles are extremely widely used in the cosmetics and skin care products industry. Various products such as lotions, creams, essences, and toners are often packaged in PP vacuum bottles. Their good sealing and barrier properties can effectively prevent products from oxidizing and deteriorating, maintaining the active ingredients and efficacy of the products. At the same time, PP vacuum bottles have diverse appearance designs and can be customized according to the positioning of different brands and the characteristics of products, enhancing the overall image and grade of products and attracting consumers' attention. For example, some high - end skin care brands will choose PP vacuum bottles with exquisite shapes and special processes (such as frosted, gold stamping, etc.) to package their products, highlighting the luxury and quality of the brands; while some brands that focus on the concept of nature and environmental protection will adopt simple and recyclable PP vacuum bottles, conforming to the brand values and winning the recognition of consumers.
Personal Care Products
In addition to cosmetics and skin care products, PP vacuum bottles also play an important role in the field of personal care products. Products such as shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, and hand sanitizers are usually packaged in large capacities. The durability and large - size design of PP vacuum bottles can meet this demand. At the same time, their convenient squeezing feature also makes it more convenient for consumers during use. In addition, the chemical stability of PP vacuum bottles can ensure that these personal care products will not react with the bottle body during storage, guaranteeing the quality and use effect of the products.
Pharmaceutical and Health Products Industry
PP vacuum bottles also play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical and health products fields. Some liquid medicines, health product oral liquids, etc., need to be stored in a sealed and pollution - free environment. The vacuum - sealing performance of PP vacuum bottles can effectively prevent the intrusion of bacteria, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medicines and health products. Moreover, the PP material meets the relevant pharmaceutical and hygiene standards and will not have an adverse impact on the quality of medicines and health products. For some medicines and health products that need long - term storage or are sensitive to environmental factors, PP vacuum bottles are a reliable packaging option.
Food and Beverage Industry
Although the food and beverage industry mostly uses materials such as PET for packaging, PP vacuum bottles are also applied in some specific products. For example, for some juices, sauces, seasonings, etc., that need to maintain a fresh taste and prevent oxidation, PP vacuum bottles can provide a good vacuum environment, extending the shelf life of products and maintaining their flavor and quality. In addition, the food - grade safety of PP material enables it to meet the strict requirements of food packaging, allowing consumers to use it with confidence.
IV. Development Trends of PP Vacuum Bottles
