Glass bottle, vial, type B, black fine mist sprayer, 100 ml

A vial-style glass bottle with a black sprayer and a nominal volume of 100 ml is a ready-to-use set for thin liquid formulations applied by spraying: facial waters and tonics, hydrolats, hair and body sprays, or room fragrances. The bottle and sprayer are matched to each other, so there is no need to search for the correct neck type or dip tube length.

Glass does not absorb odours or colour from the contents and can be cleaned repeatedly. It is therefore suitable for aqueous, alcoholic, and perfumed blends. The sprayer dispenses the contents with each press, so the product is applied evenly and without contact with the hands.

What formulations is the set suitable for

The sprayer works best with liquids that are approximately as thin as water.

• Aqueous formulations – hydrolats, tonics, facial mists, and soothing sprays for after sun or shaving.
• Alcoholic and hydroalcoholic blends – air fresheners, fabric fragrances, perfumed body sprays.
• Hair care – thin leave-in sprays for detangling and hair waters.
• Thin two-phase formulations – shaken before use; the fineness of the spray should be verified on the specific blend.

The set is not suitable for thick contents. Gels, lotions, emulsions, and most oils will not atomise into a mist. They come out as a stream or clog the sprayer. For such formulations, a pump dispenser or dropper is more appropriate.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the quantity the bottle is designed for at standard filling, in this case 100 ml. Total brim volume is the physical capacity up to the neck and is slightly larger; the exact value can be found in the product parameters.

The difference between them is a safety margin. Part of the space is taken up by the dip tube and sprayer mechanism. The liquid also needs room to expand when the temperature changes. The bottle is therefore filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim.

Good to know

Preparation before first filling. Wash the bottle, rinse it and sanitise with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. Flush the sprayer by pumping the disinfectant solution through it several times. Leave both parts to dry completely before filling.

Repeated use. The glass bottle can be refilled after thorough cleaning. However, residues of the original contents remain in the dip tube and sprayer mechanism. When changing the formulation, it must therefore be flushed with warm water and alcohol, or replaced with a new one.

Material sensitivity. Glass does not tolerate sudden temperature changes, so do not pour a hot liquid into a cold bottle. The plastic parts of the sprayer may react to a high proportion of essential oils or solvents. With such blends, it is advisable to check the seal and functionality after a few weeks.

Labelling. The cylindrical body of the bottle has a smooth surface suitable for a self-adhesive label. The dimensions needed for label design are in the product parameters. Labels adhere better to dry and degreased glass.

Other closures. Closures with the same neck type (specified in the product parameters) and further ready-made combinations are available in the Handymade range.

Recycling. Glass is recyclable. Separate the sprayer from the bottle before sorting.
