Rounded Clear Plastic Bottle, White Spray With Matte Silver Collar, 100 ml

The 100 ml plastic bottle with sprayer is ready-made packaging for thin cosmetic products that are applied by spraying. It consists of a clear PET bottle and a white mini trigger sprayer with a matte silver collar. The clear plastic shows the colour of the contents and how much is left. The bottle is lightweight and does not break when dropped, so it is also suitable for a handbag or for travel. Both components have the same 24/410 neck finish, so the sprayer fits the bottle without any further adjustments.

Both the bottle and the sprayer are declared as suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The set is not intended for food use.

What the set is suitable for

The mini trigger sprayer only works with low-viscosity liquids that can pass through the tube and the nozzle. It is therefore best used for the following types of products:

• Facial toners and mists – aqueous solutions with active ingredients, applied directly to the face without touching it with your hands.
• Hydrosols – pure or diluted, to refresh the skin during the day or after cleansing.
• Hair sprays – light leave-in conditioners, sprays with hydrosols or scalp solutions.
• Body and refreshing sprays – aqueous or water-alcohol sprays with fragrance.

The sprayer cannot handle thick serums, emulsions, gels and oils with a higher viscosity. Either it does not produce a mist or the pump becomes clogged. For such products, choose a pump or cap with the same neck.

How the sprayer dispenses

One press releases approximately 0.12 ml of liquid dispersed into fine droplets. After filling, press the head several times without spraying anything until the tube draws the contents up to the nozzle. After that it dispenses evenly. The tube is supplied longer than the height of the bottle requires. If it bends at the bottom, shorten it with an angled cut so that it ends just above the bottom. The sprayer will then draw up even the last of the contents and the mist stays even.

Filling and volume

The value of 100 ml is the nominal volume, that is, the amount the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total brimful volume stated in the parameters is the physical volume up to the neck. The difference between them serves as a reserve for the sprayer tube, which pushes part of the liquid upwards once it is screwed on. The bottle is therefore filled only up to the nominal volume. If filled to the brim, it would overflow through the neck when the sprayer is fitted.

Fill it through a funnel or from a dispensing bottle. Let the contents cool to room temperature before filling, because PET softens at higher temperatures and the bottle may become deformed.

Good to know

• Before the first filling – wash and disinfect the bottle and the sprayer and let them dry completely. Residual water would dilute the contents and reduce the effectiveness of the preservation.
• Light – clear plastic does not protect the contents from light. Store products with light-sensitive ingredients away from direct light or choose a bottle made of a dark material.
• Essential oils and solvents – for formulations with a higher proportion of essential oils, fragrance compositions or solvents, fill a test sample. After several weeks, check that the bottle has not become cloudy or soft and that the sprayer still seals.
• Reuse – after washing and disinfection, the set can be filled again. When changing the contents, flush the sprayer so that remains of the old formulation do not mix with the new one in the tube.
• Other closures – the bottle has a 24/410 neck finish. You will find closures with the same neck finish and ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, check the sealing, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of PET, the sprayer combines polypropylene with an aluminium collar. Separate the two parts before disposal and rinse the bottle.
