The skincare glass bottle-making process is a process of processing raw materials into high-quality, beautiful, and functional skincare glass bottles. Understanding this process helps us to better choose and use skincare products, and it also makes us appreciate the labor behind these products. The following are the main steps in the production process of skincare glass bottles:
1. Selection of materials: skincare glass bottles usually use borosilicate glass or soda-lime glass as raw materials. These two types of glass have excellent chemical stability, heat resistance, and impact resistance, and can meet the needs of skincare packaging.
2. Ingredients: According to the specifications and requirements of the glass bottles, the required raw materials are mixed in a certain proportion. These raw materials include quartz sand, soda ash, limestone, and so on.
3. Melting: The matched raw materials are put into the glass kiln and heated to above 1500℃ to melt the raw materials into liquid glass. In this process, the temperature and time need to be strictly controlled to ensure the quality of the glass.
4. Forming: Pour the melted liquid glass into the mold and make it form by blowing and stretching. In this process, the temperature and flow rate of the glass liquid need to be controlled to ensure the precision and appearance of the molding.
5. Cooling: After molding, the glass bottles need to be cooled to eliminate internal stress. This process is usually carried out in a cooling furnace, by gradually lowering the temperature, so that the temperature inside and outside the glass bottle drops evenly.
6. Inspection: The cooled glass bottles need to undergo strict quality inspection, including appearance, size, thickness, and other aspects of the test. Only qualified glass bottles can enter the next step of processing.
7. Processing: According to the requirements of skin care packaging, glass bottles are subjected to surface treatment such as spraying, printing, and hot stamping. These treatments can improve the aesthetics and added value of the glass bottles.
8. Packaging: After processing, the glass bottles need to be cleaned, sterilized, and other treatments, and then packaged. Packaging materials usually use cartons, foam, and other environmentally friendly materials to reduce the impact on the environment.
9. Storage and transportation: Packaged skin care glass bottles need to be stored in a dry, cool environment to prevent moisture, deformation, and other problems. In the process of transportation, you need to pay attention to light holding and putting to avoid collision and breakage.
By understanding the process of making skincare glass bottles, we can cherish the fruits of labor behind these seemingly ordinary products more, and at the same time, we can choose and use skincare products better.
