Glass bottle, type B, black and gold fine mist sprayer, 100 ml

A glass bottle with a volume of 100 ml, supplied together with a glossy black-and-gold spray pump, forms a complete package for thin liquid products that are applied as a fine mist. The glass is inert to its contents, does not let fragrance through and does not react with aqueous or alcoholic mixtures. The spray pump distributes the liquid evenly over the skin, the hair or into the air.

A volume of 100 ml corresponds to a standard consumer pack for products that are used daily and in larger doses than a serum or an oil.

What the set is suitable for

• Tonics, facial waters and hydrolats – low-viscosity water-based products spray evenly and are applied without a cotton pad.
• Hair sprays and leave-in conditioners in liquid form – a fine mist distributes along the hair lengths without locally saturating them.
• Body mists and alcohol-based fragrances – glass does not affect the scent of the contents, making it suitable for products with a higher proportion of ethanol.
• Room and fabric fragrances – the sprayer is designed for both cosmetic and technical grade, so the set can be used outside of cosmetics as well.

How the spray pump doses

With a single press the spray pump dispenses approximately 0.14 ml of liquid. A full bottle therefore yields several hundred doses. The length of the dip tube matches the height of the bottle, so the contents can be used up almost completely.

The quality of the spray depends on the viscosity. Aqueous and alcoholic solutions create a fine mist. Thicker products, gels and pure vegetable oils come out more as a stream or coarse droplets and may clog the mechanism over time.

Nominal and total volume

The figure of 100 ml is the nominal volume, that is the amount the bottle is intended for under normal filling. The total brim-full volume is the physical volume all the way to the edge of the neck and is somewhat higher. The difference serves as a reserve for the body of the spray pump with its dip tube and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle is therefore filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim, otherwise the contents will overflow when the spray pump is fitted.

What is good to know

• Preparation before first filling – wash the bottle, rinse with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. The sprayer is disinfected by spraying alcohol through the mechanism.
• Glass and heat – glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes. Do not fill a cold bottle with hot contents; allow the product to cool first.
• Plastic parts of the sprayer – the mechanism is made of polypropylene and aluminium. With blends containing a high proportion of essential oils or solvents, it is advisable to verify compatibility on a sample.
• Labelling – the cylindrical body of the bottle provides a smooth surface for a label. The dimensions needed for its design are listed in the product parameters.
• Sorting – glass belongs in glass recycling. The sprayer combines plastic and metal, so it is separated from the bottle before sorting.

The bottle can also be combined with other closures with the same neck type, which is stated in the parameters. You will find closures and other ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. For your own combination we recommend verifying the tightness, the dosing and the behaviour of the packaging with the specific formulation.
