Pumps and closures

By Dwight Davis, Founder

Updated

On this page8
Every pump in this catalog is a screw-on fitment, which decides one regulatory question before you start.

What is here, by kind

39 lotion pumps on 24-410, 28-400, 28-410 and 38-400. 14 treatment pumps on 20-400, 20-410 and 24-410. 9 airless pumps. 6 foamer pumps on 40 mm and 43 mm. On this shelf specifically, 39 lotion pumps, 11 treatment pumps and 3 foamers are verified against its necks.

All removable, all screw-on

Which is the normal and sensible construction for a refillable or recyclable package, and it is the opposite of what the mouthwash exemption asks for. Both facts are true at once.

Treatment pumps for a metered dose

They deliver a smaller, more controlled shot than a lotion pump, which suits a rinse concentrate or a whitening gel. They do not become nonremovable by being small.

Foamers change the formula

A foaming pump makes foam by forcing liquid and air through a mesh, so it only works on a liquid thin enough to pass. That obliges a reformulation, which the dish and hand property covers in detail.

Disc tops and flip tops for a paste

A toothpaste or gel in a bottle rather than a tube wants a one-handed closure. The broader lotion shelf carries 26 disc tops and 16 flip tops, and they are the ordinary answer for a squeezed product.

The liner is still the component to specify

Against the ethanol and the flavor oil load together. Ask with both numbers named, and keep a filled, sealed, weighed control to see slow loss before a customer does.

Standardize on 24-410 if you can

196 of the 443 containers carry it, and it has lotion pumps, treatment pumps and 15 of the catalog’s child-resistant closures behind it. That is the broadest set of options on this shelf by a wide margin.

References

16 CFR 1700.14(a)(22), Mouthwash. Preparations containing 3 g or more of ethanol in a single package require special packaging, except products with nonremovable pump dispensers containing at least 7 percent weight-to-weight mint or cinnamon flavoring oils, dispensing no more than 0.03 grams of absolute ethanol per actuation, and containing less than 15 grams of ethanol in a single unit. The paragraph defines mouthwash to include mouthrinses, oral antiseptics, gargles, fluoride rinses, anti-plaque rinses and breath fresheners, and to exclude throat sprays and aerosol breath fresheners. law.cornell.edu
16 CFR 1700.15, Poison prevention packaging standards: not less than 85 percent child-resistant effectiveness without a demonstration and 80 percent after one, with the packaging required to keep working in actual contact with the substance and across the openings and closings customary for its size and contents, and not to be reused. law.cornell.edu
Written from federal regulation and from measured catalog data, not from a formulation bench. Whether a product crosses the ethanol or fluoride thresholds is a calculation about your formula and your fill, and whether a pump satisfies the exemption is a question for the pump manufacturer. Nothing here certifies a package.
