As a common container accessory, lotion pumps are widely used in personal care, cosmetics, and household cleaning products. They are mainly used to easily pump lotions, liquids, or pastes out of containers evenly. Due to its simple design and convenient use, lotion pumps have been widely used in daily life.

The material and design of lotion pumps have a direct impact on its durability and service life. Most lotion pumps are made of materials such as plastic, metal, or silicone. Although these materials can maintain good use effects in the short term, long-term frequent use often affects these materials. The core components of lotion pumps - springs, pump heads, sealing rings, etc., are all parts that have been repeatedly operated. Long-term repeated compression and stretching can easily cause material aging or wear, which in turn affects the performance of lotion pumps. For example, the metal material of the spring may lose its elasticity due to repeated stretching, resulting in the pump head being unable to press smoothly or effectively push out the lotion.

After using the lotion pump for a long time, the sealing ring may be worn due to repeated squeezing and contact with liquid, resulting in leakage or failure to completely seal the pump head during use. Liquid leakage not only affects the normal operation of the lotion pump, but may also cause the lotion in the container to be contaminated, affecting the quality of the product and user experience.

Another factor that is easily overlooked is the cleaning and maintenance of the lotion pump. Many people may not clean the lotion pump regularly after using it, which can easily cause the lotion to remain in the pump head and other parts. Over time, these residues may harden or deteriorate, blocking the pump head or pipes, thereby affecting the flow and pumping effect of the lotion pump. The accumulation of residues not only affects the normal use of the lotion pump, but may also cause bacteria to grow and affect the health of the user.

In addition to material and cleaning factors, the frequency of use and the use environment of the lotion pump are also important factors affecting its long-term performance. In high-frequency use scenarios, the various components of the lotion pump will experience more pressure and friction, thereby accelerating its wear rate. Using a lotion pump in a humid environment or where the temperature fluctuates greatly may accelerate the aging of the material and cause the performance of the pump to decline.
