Due to the intensified competition in the industry, manufacturers are investing more and more in
Packaging, and cosmetic spray packaging presents a personalized and diversified development trend. For high-end cosmetics, sprayers tend to pack in small volumes to attract more low-income buyers, especially curious young female consumers. For middle and low-end cosmetics, spray cans are manifested in a variety of capacity sizes to meet the different levels of consumer choice.
Metal spray cans are an integral part of metal container packaging. China's metal container manufacturing equipment (printing iron and can making) has strong strength. After large-scale expansion of the production line in 1995, the metal container products are basically in a situation of oversupply. Cosmetics are one of the major users of
Metal Packaging. The total demand is second only to food and chemicals and higher than the pharmaceutical industry.
For aerosol products that are easy to evaporate, permeate, or contain organic solvents such as mousse, hairspray, perfume, freshener, and mouth gel, aerosol cans are used. The spray cans are divided into glass, plastic and metal packaging forms, which have the advantages of airtightness, hygiene, convenience, efficiency, quantitative and orientation. Higher-grade cosmetics usually use pump metal spray cans. Of the 600 million aerosol cans produced nationwide, about one-third are used for cosmetics packaging. Metal aerosol cans have become one of the main forms of cosmetic packaging.
As people's understanding of the quality of life increases rapidly, the consumption of cosmetics, especially high-end makeup products, is becoming more and more prosperous. The amount of metal cans and cans, including spray cans, must increase year by year. At present, the annual amount of spray cans in China accounts for only 6% of the world. Although the annual growth rate of
Metal Containers is only 4%, compared with the per capita consumption of developed countries, China’s per capita 0.43 cans and the second highest level in the world are forecasted. A considerable space for development. In addition, the increase in domestic
Tinplate and aluminum sheet production capacity, material costs have gradually stabilized and tends to decline, will promote the spray cans from high-end product packaging containers to ordinary products.
Many aerosol products in the aerosol industry have been popular since the early 1980s. Among them, mousse aerosols are the earliest cosmetics products that can be filled with spray cans. Since then, personal care products such as fresheners and perfumes have also turned to spray packaging. On the one hand, new packaging forms have stimulated the growth of aerosol production, and on the other hand, they have promoted the development of metal container manufacturing. The total amount of spray cans increased from about 30 million/year in the mid-1980s to 600 million in 2002, a 20-fold increase in 17 years. Through 20 years of introduction, cooperation, digestion and absorption, our country has formed a fully equipped aerosol. Agent industry.
The production quality of domestic aerosol propellants has reached international standards. The aerosol grade LPG is produced by natural gas purification and refining and petroleum pyrolysis gas refining. The former uses Zhongyuan Oilfield as an important source of supply and the annual output is 20,000 tons. The main suppliers are Shanghai CAL Company with an annual output of 10,000 tons. The DMEs produced in Suzhou and Chengdu meet international standards for the content of impurities in methanol and water. Both DuPont and AkzoNobel in the Netherlands recognize domestic DME propellants. Spray cans, valves, formulation development and filling also have a complete supply chain system.
The aerosol “filling on behalf of customers” model has been gradually promoted, such as the emergence of several modern client filling companies in Shanghai and Guangzhou, Shanghai United Aerosol Products Filling Company, Shanghai Daci Company, Shanghai Xixi Air Aerosol Propellant Manufacturing and Can Packaging Co., Ltd. and Shunde Laiya Chemical Co., Ltd. respectively fill aerosol products for international companies in China such as Bayer, P&G, Amway, and 3M.
Tank equipment, materials and accessories China's metal packaging cans are synchronized with international standards, with nearly 40 tin can production lines (mainly imported production lines), 11 aluminum aerosol can production lines, more than 10 valve production lines and more than 200 irrigation Loading production line. In addition, there are a large number of domestically produced equipment that can fully produce tanks, valves, and aerosol products that meet international quality standards. Aluminum spray cans production lines are mainly concentrated in the southeast coastal areas, of which there are 7 in Guangdong, the most advanced production lines in Chaoyang; there are 4 in Shanghai, and the small aluminum can production line in Xinya Jinshan is the most distinctive, filling the domestic small-diameter aluminum Aerosol tank blank. Yangzhou Spray Products Co., Ltd. introduced Germany's state-of-the-art aluminum melting and rolling complete equipment and aluminum spray can automatic production line at the end of the 1980s, and other ancillary equipment such as the United States computerized weld seam detector and automatic duplex cutting machine. , LANTCO necking and flanging machines, ANGELES sealing machine and BORDEN airtight inspection machine. Production of Φ35-Φ66 specifications spray cans, the canning speed of 150 per minute, annual supply of 20 million.
Domestic spray tank equipment manufacturers are known for semi-automatic aluminum rolling mills manufactured by Shantou Light Industry Co., Ltd. and Jiangyin Panthers Machinery's filling, inflating, and sealing machines. Domestic spray cans use 20% aluminum. Aluminum consumption is expected to reach in 2005. 40,000 tons, mainly used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food and environmental protection industry product canning needs. Tinplate aerosol cans account for 80% of aerosol containers. Tank makers are mainly distributed in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Haihe River Delta. Hangzhou Zhongliang Meite Container Co., Ltd. is a joint venture between China Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs (Group) Co., Ltd. and the United States Boer Corporation. It is the chief representative of tinplate aerosol cans producers in China.
The spray cans are packed with cosmetics. The metal materials are resistant to oxygen and ultraviolet light. The storage period is long. The inner coating, sealing, pressure resistance, explosion-proof, corrosion resistance and appearance of the spray cans are glass jars. Plastic tanks are not.
Domestic spray can lids, canister nozzles and spray valves and other major parts manufacturers are Suzhou Wantong, Suzhou Xingda, Hangzhou Precision, Shanghai Shenwei, Zhongshan Kaida, Shunde Kaiwei, and Ningbo Zhongya. The production and sales volume of Valves of the United States Jet Spray Valve (Group) Co., Ltd. ranks first in the country with an annual output of 260 million.
The latest development of ultra-thin tinplate and aluminum applications is the development direction of spray cans. Foreign countries generally use 0.22mm thick tinplate and aluminum sheet. China currently has 0.25mm tinplate spray cans of mousse, mouth jelly water, facial cleanser, skin care Cream and toothpaste products.
Domestically, we have also developed technologies and machines for laminating and laminating iron cans. The entire domestic production line with 100 cans per minute has been put into production. The aerosol cans are used in decorative effects, scratch resistance, and corrosion resistance. Obviously better than tin cans.
Innovations have also been made in the appearance, structure, and functions of quantitative sprayers, and small sprayers such as perfumes and breath fresheners that are suitable for 1 inch valves and the most popular 20 ml metering valves have been developed.
