Aerosol Actuators
Press button actuators designed to shape spray patterns, particle size, and direction for personal care, household, and technical aerosol formulations.
D01 Large Button Actuator
D01 is a large-diameter button actuator for everyday continuous-spray products. Its broad press pad is comfortable to use across a wide range of applications, and it takes APU’s standard insert so the spray can be matched to the formula. A dependable general-purpose choice for personal and home-care aerosols.
D06 Round Actuator
D06 is a round ‘dome-head’ button actuator normally used for deodorant sprays. It accepts different orifice inserts, so the discharge can be tuned to the product, and its rounded form gives a soft, comfortable press. Well suited to body sprays and deodorants where a smooth spray feel matters.
D04 Tube Actuator
D04 is a one-piece button actuator with an integrated extension tube and a 1.1 mm spray orifice, made for technical and industrial applications. The tube directs product into hard-to-reach areas, and the wider orifice suits cleaning and maintenance sprays. A classic design for industrial cleaners and technical aerosols.
X13 L-type Metering Actuator
X13 is an L-shaped metering actuator supplied with APU’s standard insert, normally used on air-freshener cans. It fits the metering-valve stem to deliver a fixed dose per press, and the side-directed L form suits automatic and manual air-freshener dispensers.
X14 L-type Metering Actuator
X14 is an L-shaped metering actuator supplied with APU’s standard insert, normally used on air-freshener cans. Like X13 it fits the metering-valve stem for a fixed dose per press; the X14 head profile offers an alternative style for air-freshener dispensers.
X01 Small Button Actuator
X01 is a small button actuator supplied with APU’s standard insert. Its compact form suits smaller cans and fine continuous-spray products, and the insert tunes the spray to the formula. A versatile small-format actuator for personal and home care.
Choose the best in class actuators that fit your need.
APU aerosol actuators are the press buttons that sit on top of the valve and shape how product leaves the can — the spray pattern, particle size, and direction. Each actuator fits the valve stem (or, for metering types, the metering-valve stem) and can be supplied with APU’s standard insert or an orifice sized to the formula.
The range spans small and large button styles for sprays, deodorants, air fresheners, and technical products, in a wide choice of colours.
