Plastic bottle, clear round, black fine mist sprayer, 28/410, 500 ml

A ready-to-use spray kit for anyone who needs to dispense liquid contents quickly and in larger quantities: a clear round plastic bottle with a nominal volume of 500 ml and a black trigger sprayer with a 28/410 neck, matched to each other and ready for immediate use. Suitable for household cleaning and refreshing sprays, plant sprays, hair and body waters, dispensing hydrolates over larger surfaces, or auxiliary solutions in a production workshop.

The kit is declared as suitable for contact with cosmetics. The bottle individually holds a food-contact certificate; the sprayer does not, so the kit as a whole is intended for cosmetic and technical use, not for food.

Why choose this kit

• 500 ml volume – suitable for products that are used up quickly and in larger amounts, such as surface, plant or fabric sprays; smaller bottles would need refilling too frequently.
• Trigger sprayer – a single pull of the trigger delivers a significantly larger dose than a small pump sprayer, making it quick to cover a surface or a larger area of hair without tiring the hand.
• Clear bottle – the contents and fill level are visible at a glance, which helps with colour-coding products and monitoring consumption.
• Lightweight plastic container – withstands drops and everyday handling in the home or workshop, where glass would be a hazard.
• Matched kit – the bottle and sprayer share the same neck type, so there is no need to worry about sealing or choosing a closure.

How the kit works

The sprayer draws the contents up through a dip tube that reaches the bottom of the bottle and forces it through the nozzle when the trigger is pressed. Trigger sprayers of this size typically produce a coarser spray than the fine mist from small pump sprayers used for serums or facial tonics – bear this in mind when choosing a product. For refreshing the face with a fine mist, a pump sprayer on a smaller bottle is more appropriate; for quickly covering a surface, a trigger sprayer is the more practical choice. The exact dose per trigger pull is listed in the product specifications.

The dip tube is supplied longer than the height of the bottle so that it can be trimmed to fit containers of different heights.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the volume the bottle is designed to hold during normal filling. The total brimful volume is the physical capacity up to the neck and is somewhat larger. The difference provides a buffer for the dip tube of the sprayer, which displaces some of the contents upward when screwed on, and for expansion of the contents with changes in temperature. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim; otherwise the contents will overflow when the sprayer is screwed on.

Suitable for contents such as

• Aqueous solutions and hydrolates – refreshing body and hair sprays, linen sprays, plant sprays; for water-based contents, do not forget to add a preservative.
• Cleaning and household products – surfactant solutions, vinegar and citric acid cleaners, glass and surface cleaners.
• Hair and body waters with a lower alcohol content – a trigger sprayer can handle dilute alcoholic solutions; for higher alcohol concentrations and essential oils, we recommend checking the behaviour of the plastic components.
• Auxiliary solutions in production – for example, a surface spray for cold-process soap, a disinfectant solution for the work surface, or water for moistening.

Less suitable are thicker creamy or oily products, which are hard for the sprayer to draw up and the nozzle will not disperse them properly, and contents sensitive to light, for which amber or blue glass or opaque plastic is more appropriate.

Good to know

Before the first fill, wash and sanitise both the bottle and sprayer with izopropylalkohol or etanol and leave to dry completely; flush the tube with several pumps of clean water. Once empty, the entire set can be reused after thorough cleaning, and the nozzle can be cleared with a few pumps of warm water. If the sprayer stops working after a long period of disuse, the usual cause is dried residue in the nozzle or air in the tube — simply clear it and pump a few times.

The bottle has a smooth rounded wall that takes a self-adhesive label well. Once thoroughly emptied, the plastic parts of the kit belong in the sorted plastic waste stream; we recommend separating the sprayer from the bottle before disposal.

Closures and sprayers with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations are available in the Handymade range; when creating your own combination, we recommend verifying the seal, dosage and performance of the packaging with your specific formulation.
