Rounded Clear Plastic Bottle, White Plastic Cap, 500 ml

Plastic bottle, transparent round, white cap, 500 ml

Ready-made set of a 500 ml PET bottle and a white screw cap with a 24/410 neck finish: fill the bottle and close it right away, without searching for a compatible closure. It is lightweight and shatterproof, and through the transparent wall you can see the colour and level of the contents. It is particularly suitable for liquid and mildly viscous cosmetic preparations that are used up quickly and do not need protection from light: shampoos, shower gels, body lotions, tonics, micellar waters, massage oils and liquid soaps. Both the bottle and the cap are declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products.

The cap simply screws onto the neck. The ribbed surface makes opening easier even with wet hands, and the inner sealing insert helps keep the contents in the bottle during normal storage and transport.

What the set is suitable for

• Rinse-off cosmetics – shampoos, shower gels, conditioners and liquid soaps. A 500 ml volume corresponds to standard bathroom packaging and shatterproof PET is safer in the bathroom than glass.
• Body lotions and light emulsions – more fluid emulsions pour well from the bottle. For thick creams, a jar or pot is more suitable; they are difficult to dispense through a narrow neck.
• Tonics, hydrolates and micellar waters – aqueous solutions without a high alcohol content and without sensitivity to light.
• Massage and body oils – vegetable oils in a PET bottle are generally fine; store them in the dark, however.
• Stock and work bottles – for your own semi-finished products, distilled water or work-in-progress bases in the workshop, where a transparent container makes it easy to check the level.

Nominal and total volume

Nominal volume is the quantity the bottle is designed to hold under normal filling conditions. The total volume to the brim is greater, because the bottle has a headspace above the nominal fill level in the shoulder and neck area. This headspace is necessary for the closure and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal volume, not to the brim. An overfilled bottle will overflow or press against the seal once the cap is screwed on.

Replacing the cap

The bottle has a 24/410 neck finish. The supplied cap can be replaced with a pump or a spray with the same neck type. In the Handymade range you will find them separately as well as in ready-made combinations with this bottle. When creating your own combination, always check the seal, dispensing and cap performance with the specific formulation beforehand, especially with thicker emulsions and oils.

Good to know

Before filling for the first time, rinse both the bottle and the cap, disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol as needed, and leave to dry completely. Residual water in the container could dilute the preservative system and potentially impair product stability.

Transparent PET does not provide protection against light. For preparations with a high content of unsaturated oils, vitamin C, retinoids or essential oils sensitive to oxidation, choose a dark container or store the bottle away from direct light.

The bottle can be reused as long as it can be cleaned properly and is not scratched or cloudy. When changing contents, always wash and disinfect it and check that the sealing insert of the cap is not retaining residue from the previous product. A flexible film label is suitable for the round body; a paper label may crinkle on the curve. The set is declared for cosmetics and is not declared for contact with food. Both the bottle and the cap are made of commonly recyclable plastics; when empty, sort them with plastics.
