High-Powder Aerosol Valves

Aptar Launches Its AAT Vertical Slider Aerosol Valve

Aptar Beauty introduced the AAT Vertical Slider Aerosol Valve, a dispensing solution developed for high-particle and powder-rich formulations, featuring a 3.5 mm stem and straight shank system that wipes away residue during actuation. U.S. production has begun at Aptar’s Cary, Illinois, facility, reducing lead times and supporting faster delivery for North American brand owners.

The valve minimizes gasket flexing to limit powder buildup, helping prevent clogging, propellant leakage and inconsistent discharge. The AAT Vertical Slider can be paired with Aptar Beauty’s premium aerosol actuators, including the Tina twist-to-lock model, Meridian hooded styles and WAZ button actuators, allowing brands to tailor dispensing controls and packaging aesthetics.

For brands, the valve offers more reliable performance for dry shampoos, shimmer mists, deodorants and other aerosolized powder products. The localized production also reflects growing demand for packaging components that combine improved functionality with shorter supply chains and faster speed to market.
