Precision Needle-Nose Aluminium Collapsible Tube for Ointments

Targeted Application with Superior Protection

The Needle-Nose Aluminium Collapsible Tube is engineered for products requiring exacting application control. Unlike standard broad-opening tubes, the elongated, tapered nozzle allows users to apply small, precise amounts of product exactly where needed. This design is particularly effective for potent pharmaceutical formulations, craft glues, and spot-treatment cosmetics where dosage control is critical.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision Nozzle Design: The extended needle-nose tip facilitates application into tight spaces or small surface areas, reducing mess and waste.
• High-Performance Barrier: Aluminium provides an impermeable metal barrier against light, moisture, and gases, significantly extending the shelf life of sensitive active ingredients.
• Airtight Integrity: The collapsible nature of the metal prevents air from being sucked back into the tube after use, maintaining the sterility and stability of the remaining contents.
• Internal Lining: Available with food-grade and pharma-grade internal lacquer options to ensure compatibility with acidic, alkaline, or neutral formulations.
• Tamper Evidence: Can be fitted with a blind-end membrane that requires puncturing with the cap spike before first use, ensuring consumer safety.

Ideal Applications

This packaging solution is versatile and suitable for a wide range of industries:

• Pharmaceuticals: Eye ointments, topical antibiotics, and antifungal creams.
• Cosmetics: Concentrated eye creams, spot correctors, and lip balms.
• Industrial: Super glues, sealants, and lubricating greases.
• Arts & Crafts: Precision paints and adhesives.

Material Specifications
