Amber Medicine Glass Bottle, Rectangular, PP28S, 250 ml, 45 ks

This amber glass medical flat bottle with a capacity of 250 ml protects its contents from light. It is intended for tinctures, oil macerates, hydrolates and toners, that is, preparations whose ingredients lose their fragrance, colour or effect in light. The bottle has a PP28S neck finish, and the pack contains 45 pcs, which is enough for a larger batch of home production or for the regular operation of a small workshop.

Glass does not react with the contents, so you can fill the bottle with alcohol-based and oil-based preparations, including blends with essential oils. The packaging is suitable for use with cosmetic products and is also approved for direct contact with food, so it is equally suitable for homemade oils, syrups and herbal extracts. You will find the declaration of conformity and the test certificate with the product.

What the bottle is suitable for

• Tinctures and alcohol extracts – alcohol does not dissolve or release anything from glass, and the amber colour slows the fading of plant pigments.
• Macerated and massage oils – oils turn yellow faster in light, and dark glass slows this process.
• Hydrolates, toners and facial waters – water-based preparations without a preservative, or with only a low preservative usage rate, keep their fragrance longer in dark glass.
• Shampoos, shower oils and bath oils – with a pump for the same neck type, you get a dispensing bottle for the bathroom.
• Homemade oils, syrups and extracts – with its food-contact certificate, it can also be used in the kitchen.

Nominal and brimful capacity

The nominal capacity of 250 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The brimful capacity is the physical volume up to the top of the neck, and you will find it in the parameters. The difference between the two is a reserve for the closure, dropper or pump tube, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. For this reason, fill the bottle to the nominal capacity, not to the brim.

Neck and closures

All closures with the same PP28S neck type fit the bottle. You will find them in the Handymade range, together with ready-made bottle + closure combinations. If you put together your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation, especially with thicker oils and with preparations containing a higher proportion of alcohol.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let it dry completely with the neck facing down. Residual water in the bottle dilutes the contents and may cause cloudiness in anhydrous preparations.

Glass can be reused. After emptying, it is enough to wash the bottle out with warm water and washing-up liquid; for oil residues, a short rinse with alcohol helps. Repeat the disinfection before the next filling.

The amber colour of the glass dampens light, but it does not replace a dark place. Store bottles with sensitive contents in a cupboard or in a box, not on a windowsill.

At the end of its life, the bottle belongs in glass recycling. Before discarding it, unscrew the plastic or metal closure and sort it according to its material.
