Plastic bottle for fabric softener, clear, 500 ml

Plastic fabric softener bottle with a volume of 500 ml is designed for home and small-batch toiletry production: fabric softeners, liquid detergents, laundry gels and cleaning products. Clear plastic shows the colour and remaining contents at a glance, so it is easy to see when the bottle needs refilling. The plastic is lightweight and will not shatter if dropped, which is useful in the laundry room and bathroom where the bottle is handled with wet hands.

The wide neck makes filling easier and allows thorough rinsing when the bottle is reused. The packaging is suitable for contact with cosmetic products; a declaration of conformity is available with the product.

What the bottle is suitable for

• Fabric softeners and laundry rinse aids – the clear wall makes it easy to see whether the contents have separated and need shaking before use.
• Liquid detergents and laundry gels – including thicker formulations that fill easily through the wide neck.
• Household cleaning products – such as water-based dishwashing or floor cleaning solutions.
• Rinse-off cosmetic refills – liquid soap, shower gel or shampoo used to top up smaller pump dispensers.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the volume the bottle is designed for under normal filling conditions. Total brim volume is the physical capacity up to the neck and is slightly larger. The difference serves as a reserve for the closure and for expansion of the contents when the temperature changes.

Good to know

Preparation before first filling. Wash the bottle with warm water and a small amount of cleaning agent, rinse thoroughly, disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and allow to dry completely. Any remaining water inside the packaging places unnecessary strain on the product's preservation.

Filling temperature. Plastic may deform at high temperatures, so fill the contents only after cooling to room temperature.

Closure. Closures with the same neck type (listed in the product parameters) and ready-made bottle-and-closure combinations are available in the Handymade range. When combining parts yourself, we recommend checking the seal, dosing performance and container behaviour with your specific formulation.

Labelling. Labels adhere best to a dry, degreased surface. The bottle dimensions needed for label design are listed in the product parameters.

Reuse and recycling. The bottle can be refilled after thorough washing and disinfection. The empty packaging is recyclable as plastic.
