Clear Plastic Bottle, Black-and-Gold Spray Pump, 100 ml

A clear 100 ml PET bottle with a glossy black and gold fine mist sprayer, supplied as a ready-to-fill set. It suits toners, hydrosols, face and body mists, light hair sprays and perfumed waters, that is, liquid contents applied by dispersing them onto the skin or hair. The clear plastic shows the colour and the remaining amount of the contents, and the bottle is light, so you can carry it in a handbag or take it on trips.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The bottle on its own has a certificate for direct food contact, the sprayer does not, so the set as a whole is intended for cosmetics.

How the set works

The bottle is made of PET, and the sprayer combines polypropylene with aluminium. When pressed, the spray head disperses the contents into a fine mist, and one press releases approximately 0.14 ml. The contents are drawn up through a dip tube from the bottom, so before first use check that the tube reaches the bottom of the bottle. After assembling the set, press the spray head several times to prime it until the tube fills and the sprayer starts to spray evenly.

Nominal volume and filling

The nominal volume is the amount the bottle is designed to hold during normal filling. The brimful capacity is the physical volume up to the neck and is usually slightly larger. The difference leaves room for the sprayer dip tube and for the contents to expand when the temperature changes. Fill up to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise the contents will be pushed out of the neck when you screw on the sprayer.

What it is suitable for

• Toners and hydrosols – water-based contents with low viscosity spray most evenly and can be applied directly to the skin without a cotton pad.
• Face and body mists – a volume of 100 ml suits normal daily use, and the bottle sits comfortably in the hand.
• Water-based hair sprays – for example sprays with hydrosols or with a low proportion of conditioning ingredients that do not thicken the liquid.
• Perfumed waters and body sprays – for alcohol-based contents, first test the behaviour of the bottle and the sprayer with your specific formulation.

The sprayer will not disperse thick oils, emulsions or gels. A bottle with a pump or a dropper is more suitable for such contents.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the sprayer, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. The sprayer is disinfected by spraying alcohol through the spray head, followed by spraying clean water.

A clear bottle does not protect the contents from light. Store light-sensitive formulations, for example those with vitamin C or essential oils, away from direct sunlight, or choose dark packaging for them. Do not fill the bottle with hot contents, as PET deforms with heat.

The set can be reused. After emptying, wash the bottle, rinse the sprayer by spraying clean water through it so that no residues dry in the dip tube and the spray head, and leave everything to dry. The bottle belongs in sorted plastic waste, and the sprayer should be unscrewed before disposal because it combines plastic and metal.

You can find closures with the same neck type and ready-made bottle plus closure combinations in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, check the seal, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
