Aluminium jar with lid, 82 mm, 150 ml

The aluminium jar with lid at 150 ml is a container for thicker and semi-solid products: balms, body butters, cream deodorants, solid perfumes, wax salves and candles. The opaque metal protects the contents from light and will not shatter if dropped, making it suitable for products that customers carry in a bag or take on trips. The inside of the jar is treated with an epoxy coating, so the contents do not come into direct contact with the aluminium and do not react with it. The lid screws onto the wide neck and has a liner that seals the closure.

The container is suitable for use with cosmetic products; details are in the parameters.

What it is suitable for

• Balms and solid creams – the wide opening makes it easy to scoop with a finger or spatula and the contents can be used right to the bottom.
• Body butters and whipped butters – the 150 ml volume is enough for extended use and the jar remains light.
• Cream deodorants and solid perfumes – the metal container will not break or crack when carried in a bag.
• Wax salves and protective balms – semi-solid mixtures of wax and oil are poured into the jar while still warm and hold their shape once set.
• Container candles – a wick with a sustainer tab is secured in the centre and the jar is filled with wax.

Filling and volume

Nominal volume is the volume the container is designed for at standard fill levels. Total brim-full volume is the physical volume up to the neck and is larger; both values are in the parameters. The difference between them is the clearance for the lid and for expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise the product will get onto the thread when closing and the lid will not seat properly.

Good to know

Before filling for the first time, wash the jar and lid, disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave to dry completely. Moisture under the lid shortens the shelf life of anhydrous products.

The jar is intended primarily for anhydrous and semi-solid products. For water-based formulas and emulsions that are scooped with a finger, verify that the chosen preservative is adequate for repeated opening and always test the product in its finished form.

With a candle, bear in mind that the jar wall also heats up during burning. Light the candle on a heat-resistant surface and choose the wick according to the diameter of the container, as with other container candles.

For the smooth silver surface, choose labels with good adhesion to metal.

Aluminium is infinitely recyclable. Sort the jar and lid with the plastic liner according to the material codes listed in the parameters.
