Aluminium Bottle, White Lotion Pump With Glossy Silver Collar, 50 ml

Aluminium bottle with white and silver pump, 50 ml

Ready-made set for small packs of liquid and cream products: an aluminium bottle with a nominal volume of 50 ml and a plastic pump with a white body and silver overcap, both parts with a 24/410 neck finish. The pump dispenses roughly the same amount with each press, so there is no need to pour out the contents or scoop them with a finger. Aluminium does not let light through and does not break when dropped. The set is therefore suitable for products that are carried in a bag, taken on trips or kept by the sink.

Fifty millilitres is enough for a facial serum, a body lotion for your handbag, a liquid hand soap in travel size, a light cream or samples for customers. A small pack is used up quickly, and the pump limits contact of the contents with air and hands during use.

What it is suitable for

• Facial and hair serums – a liquid to slightly thickened consistency passes through the pump without problems. One press dispenses approximately 1 ml, which corresponds to a usual amount for a single use.
• Light creams and lotions – emulsions with low to medium viscosity dispense cleanly, while thick creams pass through less easily.
• Liquid soaps and cleansing gels – in a travel size for the sink or a guest bathroom.
• Samples and test batches – a small pack to hand out to customers or for your own stability test in packaging that already looks like a finished product.
• Light-sensitive products – the opaque wall of the bottle protects the contents from daylight.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume of 50 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck and you can find it in the parameters. The difference between the two values forms a reserve for the tube and the body of the pump, which take up part of the space once screwed on, and for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes. For this reason, fill the bottle up to the nominal volume. If it were filled to the brim, the contents would be pushed out when the pump is fitted and could seep into the thread.

Good to know

The aluminium bottle is declared as suitable for use with cosmetic products. No such declaration is available for the plastic pump, so the set as a whole is not declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics. Before selling a finished product in this set, we recommend checking the behaviour of the pump with your specific formulation: tightness during storage, cleanliness of the dose after a longer break and any changes in the scent or colour of the contents.

The tube draws the product from the bottom of the bottle, so the last few millilitres cannot be dispensed through the pump. When using it for the first time, press the pump several times until the tube fills and starts to deliver a full dose. Products with solid particles, for example scrubs or grainy masks, will clog the mechanism and are not suitable for this set.

The set can be reused. Wash the bottle with warm water and a cleaning product and disinfect it. Rinse the pump by immersing the tube in warm water and pumping several times until clean water runs out. Oil residues in the mechanism are harder to remove, so when you change the type of product, it is better to fit a new pump.

The bottle has a 24/410 neck finish. You can find closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we always recommend checking the tightness and dispensing with your specific formulation.

The bottle belongs in metal recycling. The pump is made of plastic and aluminium, so unscrew it and hand it in separately before disposal.
