Rounded Clear Plastic Bottle, Type B, White Spray With Matte Silver Collar, 300 ml

The set of a clear PET bottle with a capacity of 300 ml and a white mini trigger sprayer with a matte silver collar is intended for liquid cosmetic products that are applied by spraying. The bottle is round, type B, with a 24/410 neck finish. The sprayer has the same thread, so the two parts fit together and seal without you having to look for another closure.

The clear plastic shows the contents and how much of them is left. PET is light and does not break, which is useful for sprays that travel to the bathroom, into a bag or onto a desk in a salon. The 300 ml capacity suits frequently used products: face and body toners, hydrosols, hair sprays, fabric sprays or solutions for cleaning tools. The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. The matte aluminium collar gives the white sprayer a neater look, and together with the clear bottle the set looks neutral and lets the colour of the contents stand out.

What the set is suitable for

• Toners and hydrosols – low-viscosity water-based solutions are sprayed as an even mist, and 300 ml lasts a long time for the whole family.
• Leave-in hair sprays – thin solutions with moisturising agents, proteins or hydrosols, applied to damp or dry hair and left to work.
• Body and refreshing sprays – light water-based or water-alcohol products with a low fragrance content. The sprayer spreads them over a larger area of skin.
• Fabric and room sprays – solutions of fragrance compositions in alcohol or in water with a solubiliser. With a higher content of essential oils, we recommend checking how the plastic behaves with your specific formulation.
• Working solutions – alcohol for disinfecting tools and work surfaces, solutions for rinsing moulds or for dampening when working with soap.

Filling and dispensing

The nominal capacity is the volume the bottle is designed for in normal filling. The total capacity up to the brim is larger, and the difference serves as a reserve for the dip tube and the body of the sprayer, which take up part of the space once screwed on, and for the expansion of the contents when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled to the nominal 300 ml, never to the brim. An overfilled bottle overflows when the sprayer is screwed on, and the contents get onto the thread, where they become sticky and make sealing difficult.

One press of the sprayer delivers approximately 0.12 ml of product. For a toner this corresponds to one or two presses on the face, while a body spray needs several presses to cover a larger area. This figure also helps when estimating consumption: a full bottle can deliver in the order of several thousand doses.

Before first use, the sprayer needs to be primed. Press it several times without product until the tube and the chamber fill with liquid. Repeat the same procedure after every complete emptying or longer period of non-use.

Good to know

Before the first filling, wash the bottle and the sprayer in warm water with a drop of surfactant, rinse thoroughly, disinfect with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave to dry completely. Rinse the sprayer by pumping clean water through it several times and then air, so that no water is left in the tube that would dilute the first dose of product.

The mini trigger sprayer works with thin liquids. Oils, serums with a thickener, gels and emulsions with a cream-like viscosity either do not get through the nozzle or come out as a stream instead of a mist, and the nozzle becomes blocked. Oil sprays need a sprayer designed for oils, and thicker products need different packaging, for example a bottle with a pump. This set is only for what flows out of the bottle similarly to water.

Each press draws air into the bottle, so the contents are not sealed off from the surroundings. Water-based products therefore need a functioning preservative system, just as in any other bottle with a pump or sprayer.

PET is not filled with hot contents. Toners, hydrosols and sprays are poured into the bottle only after they have cooled to room temperature, otherwise the plastic may deform and the bottle may lose its shape or the tightness of the neck. PET tolerates alcohol solutions of common concentrations. With formulations containing a high proportion of essential oils, limonene or other solvents, leave the set filled with the product to stand for several weeks and check whether the plastic turns cloudy, softens or changes shape.

The set can be used repeatedly. After emptying, rinse the bottle and the sprayer, pump clean water through, disinfect and leave to dry. When switching to a different type of product, for example from a fragrance spray to a toner, bear in mind that some fragrance residue may remain in the tube and the chamber. In that case it is more sensible to dedicate a separate sprayer to each product.

At the end of its life, the PET bottle goes into separate plastic waste collection. The sprayer combines several types of plastic with a steel spring and an aluminium collar, so unscrew it from the bottle before sorting. Closures and sprayers with the same 24/410 neck finish, as well as other ready-made combinations of bottle and closure, can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with your specific formulation.
