III. Cosmetic Glass Bottle Processing technology

Coloring process

1, Aluminum plastic: The appearance of aluminum is a layer of film wrapped in the inner layer of plastic.

2, Electroplating (UV): Compared with coating, the electroplating effect is glossy.

3, Coating: Compared with electroplating color, coating is more matte.

Coating outside the inner bottle: It is coated outside the inner bottle, and there is a clear gap between the outer bottle and the outer bottle from the outside, and the coating area is small when viewed from the side.

Coating outside the bottle: It is coated on the inside of the bottle. Viewed from the appearance, there is a larger area. Viewed from the vertical side, the area is smaller. There is no gap between inner bottle.

4, Gold or silver film: It is actually a film. After careful observation, articulation gaps can be found on the bottle.

5、Secondary oxidation: It is the second oxidation on the original oxidation layer. It is used to achieve the pattern of matte surface covered by light surface or dark matte surface appears light surface pattern. It is mostly used in the production of logos.
