 Acrylic cosmetic bottle looks like glass from a distance, but looks like plastic from a close up. Acrylic cosmetic bottles can also be called plexiglass bottles. Many people have asked, is acrylic cosmetic bottles a plastic product?

 

Acrylic cosmetic bottles are plastic products. Acrylic cosmetic bottles are a polymerized polymer material and a thermoplastic plastic. Like other plastic products, acrylic cosmetic bottles are not easy to decompose, and they will The environment has a certain impact. Acrylic cosmetic bottles are polymerized using monomeric methacrylate, which is a chemical material. Therefore, acrylic cosmetic bottles are not easy to break. Even if it is broken, its fragmentation is more Big pieces, unlike glass bottles, where the particles are very small.

 

Acrylic cosmetic bottles have many similar features to glass, but its advantages are far greater than those of glass, and its application field is far higher than that of glass. As a transparent material, when the traditional glass bottle cannot meet the user’s needs and design requirements, acrylic cosmetic bottles can replace glass bottles in this field and become a new product.

As a plastic product, the use of acrylic cosmetic bottles is accompanied by many discussions on recycling. How can these discarded acrylic cosmetic bottles be recycled and treated correctly and reduce the impact of plastics on the environment is a problem that many acrylic cosmetic bottle manufacturers need to face together.

 

Acrylic cosmetic bottles are very similar to other plastic products, and they are different in temperature and additives. There are two main methods for producing acrylic cosmetic bottles.

 

The first method is casting. After preparing the relevant mold, pour the melted acrylic directly into the mold. After standing for several hours, take it out of the mold. Subsequently, this nascent product is processed in a high-pressure furnace, and the high temperature is used to make the molding stronger. It takes several hours to process in the high-temperature furnace. After taking it out, some rough edges and corners are processed to make them have a certain smoothness.

 

The second step is extrusion molding. The raw material of acrylic cosmetic bottle is mainly acrylic acid. The acrylic acid is dissolved into granules, and these acrylic particles are added to the extrusion machine. The machine will heat these raw materials to about 150 degrees to make them in a viscous state. The state is then sent to the shaft press, let the pressure of the machine melt and flatten the particles to form a thin plastic sheet, and then the sheet is formed.

 

After the products that have begun to take shape, they still need to be polished and polished manually to make their outer surface have better gloss. For printing requirements, the surface of the acrylic cosmetic bottle can be printed after molding. system.

 

In addition to the above two molding methods, injection molding can also be used to make acrylic cosmetic bottles. The two simpler molding methods mentioned above are more common in the industry.
