Amber Plastic Bottle 150 ml, Golden Pump

The amber PET bottle with a pump comes in a single pack, ready to fill without having to look for a closure. The set is designed for liquid and medium-thick cosmetic products that are dispensed in small doses: body lotion, hand cream, cleansing milk, liquid soap, shampoo or conditioner. The nominal volume of 150 ml suits bathroom and bedside products that are used up steadily and do not stand open for months.

The amber colour of the plastic reduces the amount of light reaching the contents. This helps with formulations containing vegetable oils, extracts or fragrance ingredients, which change colour and scent more quickly in light. PET is lightweight and shatter-resistant, so the bottle holds up on the edge of a bathtub, in a travel bag or in a children’s bathroom. The black and gold pump gives the packaging an appearance that also suits gift packs or sales at markets.

Both the bottle and the pump are declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics. The declaration of conformity and the technical documentation are available with the product.

How the set works

The pump screws onto the 24/410 neck finish and dispenses one dose, approximately 1 ml, when the head is pressed. For body lotion or liquid soap this corresponds to the amount for a single use; with a thicker hand cream, press several times.

The pump is made of PP plastic and aluminium parts. With very thick creams it may stick or draw in air, so we recommend checking that dispensing is smooth before filling the whole batch. Liquid to creamy emulsions, gels and shampoos pass through without problems.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed for under normal filling. The total brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck, and you will find it in the parameters. The difference between them is a reserve for the pump’s dip tube and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. Fill up to the nominal volume, never to the brim, otherwise the contents will overflow when the pump is screwed on.

Good to know

• Preparation before filling – rinse the bottle and the pump before first use, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and let them dry completely. Residual water in the tube would dilute the first doses and put a strain on the preservation system.
• PET and essential oils – PET tolerates common cosmetic emulsions and oils. With a high concentration of essential oils, pure essences or solvents, test how the material behaves on a sample, as the plastic may soften or turn matte.
• Heat – pour in the contents once cooled. A hot emulsion straight after preparation may deform the PET bottle.
• Reuse – after thorough washing, the bottle can be filled again. Rinse the pump with warm water and pump it dry several times so that no old product remains in the tube.
• Food – the set is not declared for contact with food, so use it exclusively for cosmetics.
• Recycling – the PET bottle belongs in plastic waste; unscrew the pump with its aluminium parts before sorting.
