Amber Plastic Bottle, Silver Pump, 100 ml

The amber 100 ml PET bottle with a pump with a 24/410 neck finish is intended for filling liquid and medium-viscosity cosmetic products that are dispensed one press at a time. The amber colour of the plastic reduces the amount of light reaching the contents, which you will appreciate with oils and serums containing light-sensitive active ingredients. The plastic is lightweight and unbreakable, so the bottle holds up in the bathroom, in a handbag and when shipped to customers.

The pump has a clear PP body and a glossy silver collar that complements the amber bottle in colour. One press dispenses approximately 0.65 ml of product. It is therefore suitable wherever a small amount is taken repeatedly without unscrewing: body lotion, face serum, hair oil or liquid soap in a small pack. The whole set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products. It is not declared for contact with food.

What it is suited for

• Body and face lotions – thinner emulsions pass through the pump tube, and one dose corresponds to the usual amount for the hands or face.
• Serums and light fluids – dispensing one press at a time prevents waste of the more expensive contents, and the product does not come into contact with your fingers or the air in an open bottle.
• Face and hair oils – the oil is applied from the pump without running down the neck, and 100 ml will last for a fairly long time.
• Liquid soaps and cleansing gels – in a smaller pack as a sample, a travel version or an addition to a larger retail format.

Volume and filling

The nominal volume of 100 ml is the volume the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The brimful volume stated in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference forms a reserve for the tube and the lower part of the pump, which raise the liquid level once screwed on. It also leaves room for the contents to expand with temperature changes. The bottle is therefore filled up to the nominal volume. If it were filled up to the neck, part of the contents would overflow after the pump is fitted.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle with warm water, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. Pump clean water through the pump several times and then pump it empty until the remaining water has come out of the tube. After filling and screwing on the pump, it is normal for the first presses to dispense nothing until the tube has filled with the product.

The plastic is not intended for hot filling. Emulsions, gels and soaps are filled into the bottle only after they have cooled to room temperature. The pump will not draw up thick creams, butters and products with larger particles, or it will become clogged.

The bottle has a 24/410 neck finish, so it can also be combined with other closures with the same neck type from the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the seal and dispensing with your formulation. Both parts can be reused after washing. The bottle is made of PET and is recycled separately. The pump combines plastic and aluminium, so it is separated from the bottle before disposal.
