3. Production Craftsmanship & Design
3.1 Material Sourcing & Safety
- Medical-Grade Materials: We source PP plastic from ISO 9001-certified suppliers
(Germany-based BASF) to ensure rigidity and oral safety—each batch
is tested for harmful substances (BPA, phthalates) per FDA
standards.
- Food-Safe Silicone Seal: The O-ring seal is made from 100% food-grade silicone (Shore A
hardness 50) to maintain elasticity (no cracking over time) and
prevent toothpaste contamination.
3.2 Precision Manufacturing Process
- Injection Molding: The cap body is produced via precision injection molding
(tolerance ±0.02mm) to match Lifefactory’s original tube neck
dimensions—ensures a tight, wobble-free fit (no loose caps).
- Silicone O-Ring Integration: Silicone rings are thermally bonded to the cap’s inner rim (not
glued) for permanent adhesion—avoids ring detachment during use or
cleaning.
- Edge Polishing: All cap edges undergo 2 rounds of ultrasonic polishing to remove
burrs—prevents scratches on fingers (critical for families with
kids).
- Quality Inspection (5-Step Test):
- Fit Test: Mounted on genuine Lifefactory 100ml toothpaste tubes to verify
seamless alignment.
- Leak Test: Filled tubes with toothpaste, capped, and inverted for 72 hours
(no leakage allowed).
- Durability Test: Flip mechanism cycled 5,000 times (must stay functional, no
breakage).
- Safety Test: Random samples sent to third-party labs for FDA compliance
checks.
- Color Consistency: Matched to Lifefactory’s original color swatches (ΔE < 1.0 for
no visible difference).
3.3 User-Centric Design Highlights
- Ergonomic Flip Tab: A 3mm raised tab on the flip lid allows easy opening with one
finger—suitable for kids (ages 4+) and seniors with limited
dexterity.
- See-Through Option: The clear cap lets users check toothpaste levels without
opening—avoids unnecessary flipping (extends seal life).
- Low-Profile Profile: At 15mm tall, the cap fits in narrow bathroom drawers or travel
(toiletry bags)—no bulky overhang.

with Lifefactory’s recyclable tubes, it’s a fully sustainable oral
care solution.

7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Will this cap fit non-Lifefactory toothpaste tubes?
A: No—this cap is exclusively designed for Lifefactory toothpaste tubes
(50ml/100ml/150ml) with a 19mm neck diameter. It will not fit other brands (e.g.,
Colgate, Crest) or non-Lifefactory reusable tubes (different neck
sizes).
Q2: Is the material safe to touch toothpaste?
A: Yes! Both the PP plastic (cap body) and silicone (seal) are
FDA-certified for food/oral contact—no harmful chemicals (BPA,
phthalates) will leach into toothpaste, even with long-term use.
Q3: How do I install the cap on my Lifefactory tube?
A: Installation takes 2 seconds: 1) Remove any remaining pieces of
the old cap from the tube neck. 2) Align the replacement cap’s
inner rim with the tube neck. 3) Press down firmly until you hear a
“click” (confirms a tight fit). No tools needed!
Q4: Can I put the cap in the dishwasher?
A: Yes—place it on the top rack of your dishwasher (max temperature 60°C). Avoid the bottom rack
(high heat may damage the silicone seal over time). For best
results, hand-wash with warm soapy water (extends seal life).
Q5: What if the cap leaks after installation?
A: Leaks usually mean: 1) The tube neck has toothpaste residue
(clean it with a damp cloth first). 2) The cap isn’t pressed all
the way down (reinstall until you hear a “click”). If leaks
persist, contact our support team—we’ll send a free replacement.
Q6: Do you offer a warranty?
A: Yes—we provide a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects (e.g., broken flip tabs, detached
silicone rings). If your cap fails due to defects, we’ll replace it
for free (no proof of purchase needed for orders within 1 year).
Q7: How long will the cap last?
A: With daily use (2–3 flips per day), the cap will last 1–2 years (5,000+ flip cycles). The silicone seal may wear out after 2
years—we sell replacement seals (model LF-Seal) separately for
$1.99 each.
