White Plastic Bottle, 18/410, Silver White Spray, 100 ml

The white plastic bottle with a volume of 100 ml and a white and silver fine mist sprayer make a ready-to-use set for toners, hydrolates and other thin cosmetic preparations that are applied to the skin or hair by spraying. The bottle is made of PET, is light and unbreakable, so it is suitable for travel, for a handbag and for a work desk in a salon. The glossy white and silver sprayer matches the bottle in colour, and the set looks uniform without any further modification.

The set as a whole is declared suitable for contact with cosmetics. Only the bottle has a separate certificate for direct food contact; the sprayer does not have one. The set is therefore intended for cosmetic use.

What it is suitable for

• Facial toners and hydrolates – watery, thin preparations that are applied to the face as a fine mist without touching it with your hands.
• Hair sprays – light leave-in solutions for easier detangling, refreshing the hair or setting a hairstyle.
• Body and refreshing sprays – watery or mildly alcohol-based preparations for refreshing the skin during the day.
• Disinfectant sprays for hands and tools – alcohol-based solutions used in the workshop and at home. With a higher alcohol content, we recommend testing how the packaging behaves on a sample.
• Alcohol for spraying freshly poured soap – cold process soap makers spray alcohol onto the surface of the soap to prevent soda ash, and a 100 ml bottle is a size that is easy to hold for this purpose.

How the set dispenses

The sprayer is screwed onto the neck of the bottle, the dip tube reaches the bottom, and pressing the head draws up the liquid. One press releases approximately 0.14 ml. The mist is produced only with thin liquids. Thick oils, gels or emulsions with a higher viscosity will not spray; they come out as a stream or clog the nozzle. After filling, press the head several times without product until the dip tube fills and the sprayer starts spraying evenly.

Nominal and total volume

The nominal volume is the volume the bottle is designed for under normal filling. The total brimful volume is the physical volume up to the neck and is usually higher. The difference provides a reserve for the dip tube of the sprayer, which displaces part of the contents after screwing on, and for the expansion of the liquid when the temperature changes. The bottle should therefore be filled up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If it is filled up to the neck, the liquid overflows when the sprayer is fitted and the thread gets soiled.

Good to know

• Reuse – both the bottle and the sprayer can be used repeatedly. After emptying, rinse the sprayer by screwing it onto a bottle of clean water and spraying several times, then let it dry. Residues of oils or gels from the previous contents gradually clog the nozzle.
• Hot contents – PET deforms with heat, so pour in preparations only after they have cooled to room temperature.
• Essential oils and solvents – the plastic tolerates common watery and mildly alcohol-based cosmetic preparations. With a high proportion of essential oils, fragrance compositions or solvents, we recommend testing on a sample beforehand whether the bottle changes shape, turns cloudy and whether the set remains tight.
• Closure replacement – closures with the same neck finish as stated in the bottle parameters, as well as ready-made combinations, can be found in the Handymade range. If you make your own combination, we recommend checking the tightness and dispensing with your specific formulation.
• Recycling – the bottle is made of PET and is sorted as plastic. The sprayer contains PP and aluminium, so unscrew it from the bottle before disposal.
