Inquire

PET cosmetic packaging demands strict control over appearance, structural stability, and compatibility with beauty formulations. To ensure clarity, uniformity, and durability, blow molding must be executed with precision across material handling, heating, stretching, and cooling stages.


1. Material Requirements

SpecificationRequirement
Resin TypeFood-grade or cosmetic-grade PET
Moisture Content0.003% after drying
IV Range0.76–0.84 dl/g (based on bottle structure)
Optional AdditivesUV resistance, anti-static agent, alcohol resistance, color masterbatch

Note: Many cosmetic formulas contain alcohol, essential oils, or actives — resin compatibility is critical.


2. Preform Quality Standards

  • No crystal points, bubbles, haze, flow lines, or black specks

  • Smooth but well-defined parting lines

  • Accurate wall thickness and gate geometry to ensure proper blowing

Preform quality directly determines transparency, molding uniformity, and cosmetic-grade aesthetics.


3. Heating Profile Control

PET cosmetic bottles often feature thicker walls and heavier bases, requiring precise temperature zoning.

ZoneTemperature
Main Heating Zone95–120°C
Neck Protection ZoneNo heating / low holding temperature

Objective: Stable internal–external temperature gradient to avoid whitening, stress marks, or deformation.


4. Stretch and Blow Parameters

Stretch Ratio Guidelines

  • Axial stretch ratio: 2.8–3.6

  • Radial stretch ratio: 3.5–4.2

Blow Pressure Range

StagePressure
Pre-blow5–12 bar
Final blow25–35 bar

Ensures precise forming, sharp line definition, and consistent bottle geometry.


5. Mold Requirements

  • High-grade mold steel (S136 / 2316 or chrome-plated steel)

  • Polishing level: Mirror finish (#12000) or plating-treated surface

  • Uniform cooling channels to prevent haze or crystallization


6. Cosmetic-Grade Appearance Criteria

Inspection ItemStandard
Transparency & GlossHigh clarity, no whitening or haze
Wall Thickness Tolerance±0.05–0.15 mm depending on design
Parting LineSmooth, minimal visibility
Neck & Thread AccuracyFull compatibility with pumps, sprayers, or closures

7. Functional Performance Testing

  • Drop Resistance: 1–1.5m without cracking

  • Alcohol Resistance Test: 48–72 hours exposure with no stress cracking

  • Leakproof Test: Vacuum or compression, no leakage

  • ESCR(Environmental Stress Crack Resistance): Verified with final formula


Conclusion

PET cosmetic bottle production requires elevated precision compared to standard beverage packaging. The process emphasizes:

High clarity, dimensional accuracy, chemical resistance, and premium appearance.

Only with precise control of raw materials, preform quality, blow molding parameters, and mold performance can manufacturers meet luxury cosmetic packaging standards.
