Clear Plastic Bottle 150 ml, Golden Pump

A clear 150 ml PET bottle and a black and gold pump make a ready-to-use set for filling liquid and semi-liquid cosmetic products. The pump dispenses approximately 1 ml with each press, so it suits body lotions, lighter creams, liquid soaps, shampoos or wash gels that are dispensed repeatedly without scooping with your fingers. The clear plastic shows the contents and their colour, and PET is light and does not break when dropped. The set is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics.

What the set is suitable for

• Body lotions and light emulsions – a more fluid consistency passes through the dip tube and pump without effort, and a 1 ml dose corresponds to the usual amount applied to the hands or body.
• Liquid soaps and shower gels – the 150 ml volume suits a washbasin or shower, and the contents can be dispensed with one hand.
• Shampoos and liquid conditioners – for thicker textures, we recommend testing the dispensing first.
• Light body and massage oils – the pump dispenses a small amount, which limits waste with oils.

Thicker creams, balms or products with a solidified oil phase will not pass, or will pass only with difficulty, through a pump with a dip tube. A jar or container is more suitable for these.

Working with the pump

The first few presses fill the dip tube, and only then does the pump deliver a full dose. The dip tube is longer than the bottle itself and is shortened before the pump is fitted.

The bottle has a 24/410 neck. Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. If you create your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, dispensing and behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is intended for in normal filling. The total brimful volume, stated in the parameters, is the physical volume of the bottle up to the neck. The difference between them provides a reserve for the dip tube and the body of the pump, which push part of the contents upwards once screwed on, and also room for the contents to expand when the temperature changes. The bottle is filled up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If it is overfilled, the contents leak through the thread after the pump is fitted.

Good to know

• Preparation before first filling – wash the bottle, disinfect it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave it to dry completely. Rinse the pump with clean water by pumping and also leave it to dry, as water in the dip tube would dilute the first doses.
• Light – clear PET does not protect the contents from light. Formulations with sensitive ingredients (vegetable oils prone to oxidation, some active ingredients, natural dyes) belong in dark packaging or away from direct light.
• Reuse – the bottle and the pump can be refilled after thorough washing and disinfection. Rinse the pump with warm water by pumping until clean water comes out, otherwise residues of the old product would contaminate the new filling. Before the next filling, check that the thread seals and that the pump dispenses evenly.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of PET, and the pump combines polypropylene and aluminium. When sorting waste, separate the pump from the bottle.
