Amber Plastic Bottle, Silver White Spray, 115 ml

The amber plastic bottle with fine mist sprayer, 115 ml, is a ready-made combination of packaging and closure for liquid preparations applied by spraying: facial toners, hydrosols, face and hair mists, fresheners or hand disinfectant solutions. The medicine bottle shape with a narrow neck sits well in the hand, and the amber PET filters light, so contents sensitive to sunlight keep in better condition than in a clear bottle. The plastic is light and unbreakable, which you will appreciate for packaging that travels in a handbag, to the gym or on trips.

The sprayer with 18/415 neck finish is white and silver, glossy, with a long dip tube reaching into the bottle. The sprayer is made of polypropylene with an aluminium part, and the bottle is made of PET. The whole set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

What the set is suitable for

• Toners and hydrosols – thin water-based solutions spray evenly and are applied directly to the skin without a cotton pad.
• Hair and body mists – light water-based or water-and-alcohol sprays with hydrosol, glycerine or dissolved active ingredients.
• Disinfectant and refreshing sprays – solutions for hands, yoga mats and shoes, and room fresheners with a fragrance composition in alcohol.
• Samples and travel packs – the packaging will not break in luggage and the volume is enough for a longer trip.

How the sprayer dispenses

One press releases approximately 0.14 ml of contents as a fine mist. For a facial toner, two to three presses are therefore enough, so the contents are used sparingly and applied evenly. The sprayer draws the liquid up through a tube from the bottom. When using it, hold the bottle upright or only slightly tilted, otherwise it will draw in air when the bottle is nearly empty.

Once screwed on, the tube should reach all the way to the bottom. If it is too long and bends, shorten it with a straight cut so that it draws up the last millilitres.

Volume and filling

The nominal volume of 115 ml is the amount the bottle is intended for with normal filling. The physical volume up to the neck is slightly larger. This difference is a reserve for the tube and the body of the sprayer, which push part of the contents upwards once screwed on, and for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes. Fill the bottle up to the nominal volume, not to the brim, so that nothing leaks through the thread after the sprayer is fitted.

The neck of the medicine bottle is narrow, so a funnel with a narrow spout or a syringe without a needle works well for filling. Tighten the sprayer by hand, without tools, so that the thread and the seal are not damaged.

Good to know

Before the first filling, rinse the bottle and the sprayer with clean water, disinfect them with isopropanol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Flush the sprayer by spraying alcohol through it several times and then clean water. Residual water in the packaging puts a strain on the preservative of the finished product.

Heat and filling. PET is not intended for hot filling. Let the water phase, toner or infusion cool to room temperature before filling, otherwise the bottle may become deformed.

Essential oils and solvents. The packaging is not intended for aggressive chemicals. For preparations with a higher proportion of essential oils, fragrance compositions or undiluted alcohol, we recommend testing them in one bottle for several weeks and checking whether the plastic turns matte or soft, or whether the sprayer seal starts to leak.

Reuse. The bottle and the sprayer can be used again after thorough washing and disinfection. When changing to a recipe with a different fragrance, bear in mind that PET may retain part of the previous fragrance.

Recycling. The bottle is made of PET and the sprayer of polypropylene with an aluminium part. Separate them before disposal and dispose of them according to the material.

Closures and sprayers with the same neck type as stated in the parameters, and other ready-made combinations, can be found in the Handymade range. For your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
