Amber Glass Bottle, Type B, Slim, Silver White Spray, 10 ml

The contents of the amber glass medicine bottle are protected from light, and the sprayer turns them into a fine mist. The set suits any use where a small volume is applied as a dispersed spray to the skin or into the air. The amber glass medicine bottle, type B, tall, with a white and silver fine mist sprayer has a nominal volume of 10 ml, a size suited to samples, travel packs and small batches where a product is first tried out in a smaller quantity.

Amber glass filters UV radiation and slows changes in the fragrance and colour of light-sensitive contents. The sprayer has a glossy white and silver finish. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics.

What it is suitable for

• Perfume samples and travel packs – the 10 ml volume corresponds to a common tester or handbag size, and the dark glass protects the fragrance composition from light.
• Face and body mists – hydrosols, toners and light water-based sprays are applied evenly with the sprayer, without fingers touching the contents.
• Air fresheners and room sprays – a small dose is enough for a pillow, textiles or a fragrance sample for a customer.
• Hair and scalp sprays – light water-based or alcohol-based preparations for spraying onto the hair.
• Small batches and recipe testing – before producing a larger pack, you can check how the preparation behaves in a spray and how the customer uses it.

Filling and volume

The nominal volume is the volume the packaging is designed for under normal filling. The brimful volume given in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them is a reserve for the tube and the sprayer assembly and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Therefore, fill to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If the bottle is overfilled, part of the contents is pushed out through the thread when the sprayer is screwed on, and the closure will not seal.

The sprayer dispenses approximately 0.14 ml with each press, so 10 ml lasts for several dozen applications. The full dose is reached only after the first few presses, once the tube has filled and the air has been pushed out of it.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the sprayer, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Residual water in the bottle or in the tube dilutes the contents and, in water-based preparations without preservatives, shortens their usable life.

The sprayer dispenses water-based, alcohol-based and low-viscosity preparations. With oil-based or thickened recipes the nozzle clogs and the mist turns into a jet. Test how such a formulation behaves in a spray on a small sample. The sprayer assembly is made of polypropylene and aluminium. For preparations with a high proportion of essential oils or solvents, we recommend checking the tightness, any changes to the plastic and the quality of the mist after several weeks in the filled packaging.

The glass withstands normal cleaning with warm water, but it does not tolerate sudden temperature changes. Do not fill a hot bottle with cold contents or the other way round. After thorough washing and disinfection, the bottle can be reused. A sprayer that has held strongly scented contents usually cannot be cleaned completely, and a new one is the better choice for a new recipe.

Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you combine the bottle with a different closure, check the tightness, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.

Once empty and separated from the sprayer, the glass bottle is recycled as glass.
