Amber Plastic Bottle, White Nasal Spray, 50 ml

The amber PET bottle with a volume of 50 ml and a nasal sprayer form a ready-made set for thin water-based preparations that are applied in small doses as a fine mist. The amber plastic filters light, so sun-sensitive contents keep better than in a clear bottle. PET is light and does not break when dropped, which you will appreciate for packaging that is carried in a handbag or taken travelling. The nasal sprayer with 18/410 neck finish screws directly onto the neck of the bottle, and each press releases approximately the same amount of liquid. The set as a whole is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics.

What the set is suitable for

The nasal sprayer applicator delivers a precisely directed, very fine dose, so the set is best used for preparations where a small, repeatable amount matters.

• Hydrosols and toners – thin water-based preparations pass through the sprayer without problems, and the amber bottle protects them from light.
• Water-based solutions of active ingredients – serums without thickeners, solutions of peptides or vitamins that are dispensed one spray at a time.
• Water and alcohol preparations – light refreshing sprays containing a proportion of alcohol; we recommend testing in advance how the plastic behaves at the specific alcohol concentration.
• Samples and travel packs – the 50 ml volume suits a trial quantity, and the bottle takes up little space in a bag.

Filling and dispensing

The nominal volume of 50 ml is the volume the bottle is intended for with normal filling. The total brimful volume is larger, but this difference serves as a reserve for the dip tube of the sprayer and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the neck. After filling, screw the sprayer on until it stops and prime the dip tube with several presses. Only then does it dispense evenly.

One press releases approximately 0.12 ml. You can use this figure when planning dispensing and when estimating how many applications one fill will last.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash and disinfect the bottle and the sprayer and let them dry completely. Flush the sprayer by pumping clean water through it, and then empty it with several presses so that no water remains in the dip tube. Repeat the procedure each time you reuse the set and check that the nozzle is not clogged with residues of the previous contents.

PET tolerates common water-based and water and alcohol cosmetic preparations. Undiluted essential oils and aggressive solvents can damage the plastic, so they belong in this packaging only in diluted form and after testing. In addition to plastic parts, the sprayer contains steel and glass components. Check compatibility with a formulation with a low pH or a higher salt content on a single piece before you fill a larger quantity.

The bottle is made of PET and goes in the separate collection for plastics. The sprayer is made of several materials, so separate it from the bottle before disposal. Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness and dispensing with your specific formulation.
