The present invention relates to improvements in or relating to a nozzle arrangement. Th nozzle arrangement of the present invention are adapted to be fitted to a container and actuate the release of the contents stored in the container. The nozzle arrangement has a body ( 101 ) which comprises an outlet through which, in use, fluid is ejected from the nozzle arrangement and is formed from at least a first part ( 102 ) and a second part ( 103 ), the first part having an inlet ( 120 ) through which the contents of the container admit fluid into the nozzle arrangement during use and an abutment surface ( 105 ) which contact an abutment surface ( 106 ) of the second part. The abutment surface ( 105,106 ) of the first and second parts define a fluid flow passageway ( 122,123 ) therebetween, which connects the inlet ( 120 ) to the outlet ( 124 ), as well as a seal that is adapted to contain any fluid that leaks from the inlet and/or at least a portion of the fluid flow passage ( 122,123 ) during use. The seal is formed by a recessed formation ( 203,204 ) disposed in one of said abutment surfaces ( 105,106 ) and a corresponding projection formation ( 201,202 ) disposed on the opposing surface which is adapted to be received within, and form a sealing engagement with, the recessed formation ( 203,204 ). The seal defines an internally sealed compartment between said abutment surfaces which extends around said inlet and at least a portion of the fluid flow passageway.
