White Trigger spray, 28/410

Trigger sprayer made of polypropylene with a 28/410 neck turns a bottle into a practical dispenser for water-based and thin liquid preparations. It is useful anywhere the contents need to be applied evenly over a larger area or from a greater distance: on household cleaning and disinfecting products, air fresheners, plant preparations, and also on cosmetic body or hair sprays in larger volumes. The white finish looks neutral and makes it easy to choose a matching label and bottle colour.

According to the technical documentation, the packaging material is suitable for contact with cosmetic products and at the same time meets the technical quality required for household preparations. With a single type of closure you can thus cover several kinds of products in your range or workshop.

How it differs from a common sprayer

• Comfortable dispensing of large volumes – the trigger is operated with the whole palm, not a single finger, so you can spray an entire kitchen counter or a larger piece of textile without tiring.
• Larger dose per stroke – compared with small sprayers it delivers considerably more contents at once, which is desirable for cleaning and textile preparations. The exact dose is given in the parameters.
• Long suction tube – the sprayer is designed for bottles of larger volumes; with a lower bottle the tube can be shortened to the required length.
• Polypropylene – a lightweight and durable material that withstands common water-based solutions, surfactants and alcohol in the concentrations usual in household preparations.

What preparations it is suitable for

The trigger sprayer works reliably with water-based and thin liquids: all-purpose cleaners, vinegar and baking-soda solutions, window and surface preparations, disinfecting sprays based on ethanol, textile and room fresheners with hydrosols, "sea salt" type hair sprays, body mists in large packaging or a spray for houseplants.

It is not suitable for thick gels, viscous oils or preparations with undissolved particles. Thick contents are drawn in poorly and the nozzle clogs, while solid particles can damage it. Oily contents can be sprayed, but the nozzle disperses them into coarse droplets rather than a fine mist. It is advisable to verify the long-term behaviour of the plastic with the specific oil.

What is good to know when filling and using

The sprayer fits onto a bottle with a 28/410 neck. Bottles with this neck type as well as ready-made bottle + sprayer combinations can be found in the Handymade range. For your own combination we recommend verifying the thread seal, the dispensing and the behaviour of the packaging with the specific formulation.

Fill the bottle only up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. The space above the liquid level is needed for the tube and the body of the sprayer. An overfilled bottle overflows when screwed shut and the preparation gets onto the thread.

Before the first filling, rinse the sprayer with clean water, or with spirit, and let it dry. After filling, press the trigger a few times without liquid until the tube and pump fill with the contents and the sprayer begins to dispense evenly.

For preparations with a higher proportion of essential oils, solvents or for strongly acidic or alkaline cleaners, we recommend testing the sprayer with the finished preparation for several weeks before putting it into production. Polypropylene is a chemically resistant material, but concentrated fragrance components can over time affect the seal or the operation of the mechanism.

The sprayer can be reused. After the contents are used up, rinse it with water; when changing the preparation, thoroughly clean the tube as well. At the end of its service life it belongs in sorted plastic collection; the material code is given in the parameters.
