Industrial precision spheres for the cosmetics industry

Which cosmetic products precision industrial spheres are used in

When talking about the cosmetics industry, you might be surprised to discover the wide use and importance of precision spheres.

Here are some of the most common uses:

• Dispensers and dispensing systems: Think of roll-on deodorants. The small rotational movement of the sphere doesn’t just facilitate application, but also ensures even distribution of the product. And it is not just deodorants; perfume sprays and many cream and lotion dispensers also rely on precision spheres to deliver the desired functionality.

• Milling and mixing: The cosmetic manufacturing process can be complex. Most often, ingredients must be precisely mixed to achieve the desired consistency and properties. Precision spheres act as milling agents, ensuring that ingredients are mixed evenly and finely.

• Aerosol valves: The use of aerosols is becoming increasingly popular in various cosmetic products. To ensure proper product dispensing, precision spheres are used to prevent valve blockages, ensuring that the product is dispensed evenly and consistently.

The requirements for industrial spheres in the cosmetics industry

The world of cosmetics is not exempt from strict standards and regulations. These standards are put in place to guarantee the safety of consumers and ensure that they receive high quality products.

For precision spheres, these standards are reflected in:

• Approved materials: Spheres, in direct or indirect contact with cosmetics, must be made of safe and approved materials. This means that they must be resistant to a range of chemicals and must not react with or alter the product in any way.
• Strict tolerances: Each sphere must meet very strict dimensional tolerances. This precision ensures that they function as intended, especially when used in applications such as dispensers, where size and shape can affect the amount of product dispensed.
• Chemical resistance: cosmetic products can have a wide range of ingredients. Precision beads must withstand these ingredients without corroding, reacting or degrading.

Which precision sphere materials are best suitable for the cosmetics industry

Every application in the cosmetics industry has specific requirements, which is why choosing the right material for each challenge is crucial.

The most suitable components are:

• Stainless steel: This material is known for its resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for products with an alcohol base such as perfumes. Stainless steel is also resistant to high temperatures and pH changes, which are essential features for certain cosmetic formulations.
• Plastic: Some beads, especially those used in water-based products or less aggressive applications, are made of plastic materials such as PTFE or polypropylene. These materials are renowned for their chemical resistance and are often used in products such as creams and lotions.
• Glass: For some applications, aesthetics are paramount. Glass spheres are transparent, shiny and look good in many formulations, making them a popular choice for products such as exfoliants.
• Ceramic: Hard and durable, ceramic spheres are used in high-temperature applications or where special chemical resistance is required. Their hardness also makes them ideal for many milling operations.
