Glass bottle, vial, 28 mm, plastic fine mist sprayer, 28/410, black, ribbed collar, 500 ml

For hydrosols, toners and alcohol sprays that are applied by spraying, here is a ready-made combination: an amber glass medicine bottle with a volume of 500 ml and a black plastic fine mist sprayer with a 28/410 neck finish. The dark glass dampens light and protects the contents from its effects, which you will appreciate especially with water-alcohol mixtures containing essential oils. The sprayer disperses the contents into a fine mist, so it is applied evenly and without direct contact with the skin or surface. The ribbed collar is easy to grip when screwing on, and you can tighten the closure even with wet hands.

The set as a whole is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. Only the glass bottle on its own has a certificate for direct contact with food; the sprayer does not have one, so the set is intended for cosmetic and technical preparations.

What the set is suitable for

• Hydrosols and toners – thin water-based preparations without thickeners pass easily through the sprayer and are applied directly to the skin.
• Hair and body sprays – thin solutions with active ingredients or glycerine, applied over a larger area.
• Room and textile fragrances – alcohol or water-alcohol mixtures with essential oils or a fragrance composition; the 500 ml volume is enough for longer use without frequent refilling.
• Working solutions for production – alcohol for disinfecting the work surface and moulds, a solution for removing bubbles from the surface of soap, or demineralised water for adding moisture to the mixture.

Working with the sprayer

One press releases approximately 0.12 ml, which allows you to apply small doses and easily calculate consumption. The tube draws the contents from the bottom. For the last millilitres, the sprayer starts to draw in air, and it is better to pour the remainder into a smaller container.

Only liquid contents without lumps and solid particles belong in the sprayer. Gels, thick emulsions and oils with higher viscosity clog the mechanism or come out in a stream instead of a spray. Filter any preparation with fine particles, for example a plant infusion, before filling.

Volume, neck and care

The nominal volume of 500 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total volume up to the brim is slightly larger, and the difference provides a reserve for the sprayer tube and for the expansion of the contents with temperature changes. For this reason, fill only to the nominal volume, not up to the neck.

The bottle has a PP28S neck, so it can also be used with other closures with the same neck type from the Handymade range. With your own combination, we recommend checking the seal and dispensing with your specific formulation.

Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes. Let the contents cool to room temperature before filling, and do not place a full bottle in a hot or freezing place. After emptying, it is enough to wash, disinfect and dry the container, and you can fill it again. Before recycling, unscrew the sprayer: the glass belongs with glass and the sprayer with plastics.
