What is the purpose of the plastic pump head?

Purpose of Plastic Pump Heads

1. Controlled Dispensing
Allows precise liquid dosage (e.g., skincare serums, hand sanitizers).
Prevents wastage by releasing small, measured amounts per pump.

2. Hygiene & Contamination Prevention
Sealed design keeps liquids free from air, dust, and bacteria.
No direct contact between fingers and product (unlike open jars or squeeze tubes).

3. User Convenience
One-handed operation – easy to press while holding the bottle.
Locking mechanisms (on some pumps) prevent leaks during travel.

4. Product Preservation
Minimizes oxidation (exposure to air degrades some formulas).
Reduces evaporation of volatile ingredients (e.g., alcohol-based toners).

5. Versatile Application
Can dispense liquids, gels, foams, or mists depending on nozzle design.
Used in cosmetics, cleaning products, pharmaceuticals, and food packaging.

6. Leak-Proof Storage
Self-sealing after each use prevents spills if tipped over.
Ideal for travel-friendly and upright storage of liquid products.

7. Cost-Effective Packaging
Cheaper than airless pumps but still provides good protection.
Lightweight compared to glass droppers or metal sprayers.
