Clear plastic bottle, white mini trigger sprayer, 500 ml

A bottle with a trigger sprayer applies liquid contents as a fine, even mist without spilling and without touching by hand. This is a ready-made set: a clear plastic bottle with a capacity of 500 ml and a white trigger sprayer that fits it directly. Suitable for tonics, hydrolats, refreshing and hair sprays, cleaning solutions, surface disinfection or misting plants. It is lightweight, unlike glass it will not break, and through the transparent wall you can see how much content remains.

The bottle is made of PET, the sprayer of PP. Both components have declared suitability for contact with cosmetic products, so the set is intended for cosmetic and technical use. It is not declared for contact with food.

What the set is suitable for

• Tonics and hydrolats – the sprayer disperses thin aqueous solutions into a fine mist that spreads evenly on the skin.
• Hair and body sprays – leave-on aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic preparations where precise and economical dosing matters.
• Cleaning and disinfecting solutions – the technical quality of the packaging allows use both in the household and in the workshop; the larger volume reduces the number of refills.
• Solutions for plants and interiors – misting leaves, water-based air fresheners, textile solutions.

The sprayer works best with thin liquids. Thick emulsions, gels or preparations with undissolved particles clog the pump and the mist turns into an irregular stream. Pure oils are harder to dose and the spray is coarser. For oil-based products, packaging with a pump dispenser or dropper is more suitable.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the quantity the bottle is designed for during normal filling. The total volume to the brim is slightly larger and extends to the neck. The difference forms a reserve for the sprayer tube, the air gap and expansion of the contents when temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. Otherwise, when the sprayer is screwed on, the contents will overflow through the neck and contaminate the thread.

How the set works

The trigger sprayer draws the contents through a tube that reaches to the bottom of the bottle, so almost the entire volume is used up. On first use, the trigger needs to be pressed several times without dispensing until the system fills with liquid. Each press releases a small, repeatable dose of approximately 0.2 ml, which makes for economical application. The smooth collar without grooves is easy to clean.

What is good to know

• Light – clear PET does not protect the contents from light. Store preparations with essential oils, plant extracts or light-sensitive active ingredients in the dark, or choose dark-coloured packaging for them.
• Essential oils and solvents – PET and PP tolerate aqueous and mildly alcoholic solutions. With a high proportion of essential oils, acetone or other aggressive solvents, the plastic may become cloudy or deform over time. Test the behaviour of the packaging with a specific formulation on a small sample.
• Heat – PET is not suitable for hot filling. Allow the contents to cool before filling, otherwise the bottle will change shape.
• Repeated use – the set can be used repeatedly. After emptying, rinse with clean water, flush the sprayer with several presses of water and leave to dry. When changing the contents, disinfection with alcohol is recommended.
• Preservation – aqueous preparations in the sprayer come into contact with air through the pump vent. Without a preservation system, they have a limited shelf life, just as in any other packaging.
• Recycling – both the PET bottle and the PP sprayer belong in plastic waste. Before disposing, empty and rinse the packaging.

Closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations can be found in the Handymade range. With a custom combination of bottle and a different closure, we recommend verifying the seal, dosing and behaviour of the packaging with a specific formulation.
