What properties of ABS material make it suitable for use in cosmetics?

2025-11-25


Introduction

Plastic is the most commonly used material for cosmetic packaging because it is readily available and inexpensive. Commonly used plastics include ABS, PP, acrylic (PMMA), PC, PCTG, and PS. ABS is particularly useful. It is highly precise, hard, scratch-resistant, and strong enough. It can also be made in various colors. Not only is it durable and resistant to low-temperature environments, but it can also be processed in many ways and is recyclable. It is very popular in the market.


Molding Method


There are many molding methods for ABS, including injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and foaming. Moreover, it is extremely stable during molding, the structure does not deviate at all, it will not break or bend randomly, which is why the precision is so high. It is drop-resistant, resistant to high and low temperatures, and unaffected by chemicals. Its electrical properties are also reliable. It is easy to process, and the finished products are accurate in size and have a bright surface. It can be easily painted and colored, and can also undergo secondary processing such as metal spraying, electroplating, and welding, making it very convenient to use.


Characteristics


Property Category Specific Content
Basic Properties Non-toxic, odorless, low water absorption, can be made into various colors, and the glossiness is as high as 90%
Bonding/Processability Good compatibility with other materials; surface printing, coating and plating can all be done easily
Combustion Characteristics Oxygen index 18.2, flammable material; flame is yellow with black smoke
Flame Retardant Improvement Adding flame retardant can make it flame-retardant, ensuring the safety and fire resistance of finished products, with low smoke during combustion and reduced environmental pollution
Temperature/Hardness Performance High impact strength and hard surface in a wide temperature range
Surface/Shrinkage Rate Critical surface tension 34—38mN/cm; shrinkage rate 0.4%~0.8%, which can be reduced to 0.2%~0.4% after glass fiber reinforcement
