Amber Plastic Bottle, Silver White Spray, 100 ml

A 100 ml plastic medicine bottle with a screw-on fine mist sprayer makes ready-to-use packaging for cosmetics that are applied as a spray. The amber-coloured PET dims the light and protects contents that are sensitive to sunlight, such as toners with plant extracts, hydrosols or refreshing sprays. The plastic is light and does not break, so the bottle copes with travel as well as everyday use in the bathroom.

The sprayer with an 18/415 neck finish has a white head with a silver glossy collar and is made of PP and aluminium. It sprays a fine mist from thin liquids. Once filled, the set is ready for sale or your own use, and as a whole it is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What the set is suitable for

• Facial toners and hydrosols – the sprayer dispenses thin water-based preparations evenly and without them running down the skin.
• Setting and refreshing sprays – in water-alcohol formulations, the amber plastic limits the light reaching aromatic and active ingredients.
• Hair sprays and leave-in conditioners – thin solutions with panthenol, hydrolysed proteins or infusions are applied directly to the hair or scalp.
• Body and room sprays – the 100 ml volume matches the usual size of a personal or travel pack.

Volume and filling

The nominal volume is the volume the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total brimful volume is larger, because it also includes the space up to the neck. This difference serves as a reserve for the sprayer dip tube, which is immersed in the contents once the sprayer is screwed on, and for the expansion of the liquid when the temperature changes. Fill the bottle to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If it is overfilled, the contents are pushed out through the neck when the tube is inserted.

Using the sprayer

The dip tube reaches almost to the bottom of the bottle, so the contents can be used up without any remainder. One press releases approximately 0.14 ml. With a new sprayer, or one that has not been used for a while, the head needs to be pressed several times until the tube fills and the mist starts to come out evenly.

The sprayer is intended for liquids with a viscosity close to water. Thick serums, higher-viscosity oils or emulsions with a thickener will not be sprayed by the nozzle, or may clog it over time. For oil-based contents, a bottle with a dropper or a pump is more suitable.

Good to know

The certificate for direct contact with food applies only to the amber bottle on its own, not to the sprayer. The set as a whole is therefore intended for cosmetics and should not be used for food.

Concentrated essential oils, strong solvents and a high proportion of alcohol are among the more aggressive ingredients that PET should not be exposed to for a long time. For such formulations, we recommend testing one bottle for several weeks before filling a larger batch and also checking the seal and the spring of the sprayer.

The bottle withstands repeated use. The coloured plastic does not allow you to check the level of the contents by eye, so when filling, weigh the bottle or use a clear measuring jug instead. The PET bottle goes with plastics, while the PP sprayer with an aluminium collar is unscrewed before recycling and sorted separately.
