As a key component of cosmetic packaging, the sealing performance of cosmetic pumps plays a vital role in the stability, convenience and consumer experience of products. In the design process of cosmetic pumps, the design of sealing components is particularly important, covering multiple dimensions such as material selection, structural design and functionality.

Material selection
The material selection of sealing components is the basis for ensuring their sealing performance. The sealing components of cosmetic pumps usually use the following materials:
Rubber materials: including silicone rubber, fluororubber and nitrile rubber, etc. These materials have excellent elasticity and chemical corrosion resistance and can meet the needs of various cosmetic formulas.
Plastic materials: such as polyurethane, polyethylene and polypropylene, etc., have good formability and durability, are suitable for large-scale production, and can effectively reduce production costs.
Metal materials: In some high-end products, metal materials such as stainless steel may be used to enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of sealing components.
Material selection should not only focus on sealing performance, but also consider compatibility with cosmetic formulas to avoid performance degradation caused by chemical reactions.

Structural design
The structural design of the sealing component has a direct impact on its sealing effect and service life. Common sealing structures include O-rings, U-rings, gaskets and sealing pads. Specific design features include:
O-ring design: As the most common sealing component, O-rings are widely used because of their simple design and significant sealing effect. During the design process, the diameter, hardness and material of the O-ring need to be considered to ensure that it can effectively form a seal under compression.
Multiple seal design: In order to improve the sealing performance, many cosmetic pumps adopt a multiple seal design, that is, multiple seal components are set at the same position. This design can effectively prevent liquid leakage, and even if a sealing component fails, other components can still provide protection.
Self-sealing design: Some high-end cosmetic pumps adopt a self-sealing design, and the sealing component can automatically adjust its position to maintain the seal during the movement of the pump body. This design reduces the risk of seal failure caused by improper use.

Functional design
The functional design of the sealing component is the key to ensure that it can still maintain good sealing performance under different use conditions. Its main design features include:
Pressure resistance: The sealing component should have a certain pressure resistance to cope with the pressure generated by the pump during use. The working pressure of the pump should be fully considered during the design, and the appropriate materials and structures should be selected to ensure the reliability of the sealing component under high pressure environment.
Temperature resistance: Cosmetic pumps are used at different temperatures, so the sealing components need to have excellent temperature resistance. The thermal expansion coefficient and high temperature resistance of the material need to be considered during design to ensure that a good sealing effect can be maintained under extreme temperature conditions.
Chemical resistance: Cosmetic formulas may contain a variety of chemical ingredients, and the sealing components need to have good chemical resistance to prevent reactions with cosmetic ingredients. Materials compatible with cosmetic ingredients should be selected during design to ensure the long-term stability of the sealing components.
