Embodiment 1

[0074] Examples of multilayer materials suitable for making flexible pipe skirts are described below.

[0075] This multi-layer material is a co-extruded material, from the outside in, comprising the following successive layers:

[0076] - a layer of varnish consisting of a mixture of epoxy and acrylic resins crosslinked by UV light;

[0077] - High-density polyethylene layer with a thickness of 170 μm;

[0078] - an adhesive layer with a thickness between 10 and 30 μm;

[0079] - an ethylene-vinyl alcohol layer with a thickness of 25 μm;

[0080] - an adhesive layer with a thickness between 10 and 30 μm; and

[0081] - High-density polyethylene layer with a thickness of 170 μm.

[0082] This multi-layer material was able to obtain a container with an applicator which had a percent weight loss of 0.87% at four weeks for nail polish.

Embodiment 2

[0084] The multilayer material of Example 2 is similar to Example 1 except that the thickness of the EVOH layer is different. The thickness of the EVOH layer is 33 μm.

[0085] This multi-layer material was able to yield a container with an applicator cap that had a percent weight loss of 0.7% at four weeks for nail polish.

Embodiment 3

[0087] Example 3 of the multilayer material is similar to Example 1. However, the HDPE layer was replaced by a LLDPE / HDPE layer with a thickness of 170 μm and an EVOH layer with a thickness of 26 μm.

[0088] This multi-layer material was able to yield a container with an applicator cap which had a percent weight loss of 0.63% at four weeks for nail polish.

Abstract

The invention relates to a container (1) with an applicator cap (2) for a cosmetic product, comprising: a flexible tube (3) comprising a skirt (31) and a tube head (32) comprising a shoulder part (321) and a neck (322) with an opening (3221), the tube head (32) being connected to the skirt (31) by the shoulder part (321), the flexible tube (3) acting as a reservoir to contain some cosmetic product; an applicator cap (2) comprising a base (21) and an applicator, the base (21) being designed to fix onto the tube head (32) and plug the opening (3221) and the applicator being fixed to the base (21) so as to be housed inside the flexible tube (3) when the base (21) is fixed to the tube head (32) and plugs the opening (3221); characterized in that the skirt (2) is made of a multilayered plastics material (4) comprising at least one barrier layer (41).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of containers for cosmetics. The invention relates in particular to the field of containers with applicator caps. Background technique [0002] Containers with applicator caps for cosmetic products are available on the market. Such cosmetics are typically nail polish, mascara, liquid eyeliner (more commonly referred to as "eyeliner"), and lip balm (sometimes simply referred to as "gloss"). [0003] Containers with applicator caps for nail polish typically take the form of clear glass bottles used as a reservoir for nail polish. The clear glass bottle includes an opening within which and through which a straight applicator brush can be received, the straight applicator brush being secured to the end of a stem secured to the cap. [0004] The disadvantage of this type of nail polish container is the weight due to the use of glass. [0005] Containers with applicator caps for mascara are generally used as res...
