Airless Cosmetic Bottles

Advanced Material Science Housing materials:• Medical-grade PP (polypropylene) - most common• PET (polyethylene terephthalate) - for transparency• Tritan™ - premium impact-resistant copolyester• Glass variants with plastic internals (luxury segment) Piston materials:• HDPE (high-density polyethylene) - standard• Silicone-coated - for smoother movement• PTFE (Teflon) - for pharmaceutical applications

Technical Working Principle Utilizes a vacuum-based dispensing system with either:• Piston mechanism (most common)• Collapsible bag system (for ultra-sensitive formulas) When pressed, the pump creates negative pressure that lifts the piston platform No dip tube required - product sits directly on the lifting platform Creates a hermetic seal that prevents air backflow
