Second, the liquid surface can quickly reach the level, but the liquid surface has slight traces of stacking, the bottle spray pump needs to verify its spraying effect, other lotion pumps and derivative pumps can be used.
Third, the liquid surface of bottle spray pump can reach the level in 1-2 seconds, the liquid surface has obvious traces of mounding, you need to use the lotion pump with high suction power and spring elasticity, and the high viscosity pump is preferred, followed by the use of vacuum jar/airless pump bottles packaging.
Fourth, the liquid surface of bottle spray pump has obvious traces of piling up and cannot reach the horizontal state in a short time, the pump with high viscosity also needs to be verified, and the priority is to use vacuum jar/airless pump bottles, or choose the lid lotion packaging.
