White Plastic Bottle, Black Spray, 10 ml

This set of a white plastic pharmaceutical bottle with a capacity of 10 ml and a black fine mist sprayer is intended for small volumes of liquids that are applied by spraying. The white PET wall is not see-through, so contents sensitive to light, such as fragrance compositions or toners with plant extracts, are better protected than in a clear container. The plastic is light and does not break when dropped. At 10 ml, this makes a pack that fits in a handbag, suits travel, or works for customer samples.

The set is declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products. Only the bottle has a certificate for direct contact with food; the sprayer does not. For this reason, use the set as a whole for cosmetics, not for food purposes.

What it is suitable for

With its small dose, the sprayer evenly disperses thin water-based or alcohol-based liquids. The 10 ml volume suits products that are used up quickly or carried with you:

• Perfume and fragrance water samples – a small amount of an alcohol-based composition for trying out a fragrance before buying a larger pack.
• Facial mists and toners – a travel version of a hydrolate or toner for refreshing the skin during the day.
• Hair and body sprays – light hair mists and refreshing sprays for the body or linen.
• Alcohol-based hand sprays – refreshing solutions with a high proportion of ethanol for your pocket or bag.

Thick oils, emulsions and liquids with a thickener do not pass evenly through a sprayer like this. For oil serums or creams, choose a bottle with a dropper or a pump instead.

Filling and dispensing

The nominal volume of 10 ml is the amount the bottle is designed for during normal filling. The total brimful volume is slightly larger. This difference is a reserve for the sprayer tube, so the bottle is filled to the nominal volume, not to the neck. If filled to the brim, part of the liquid would be pushed out when the sprayer is screwed on.

One press of the sprayer releases approximately 0.14 ml of liquid. From a perfume sample, the customer therefore gets dozens of applications, and with a facial mist the daily consumption can be estimated from the number of presses.

Good to know

Before first filling, wash the bottle, rinse it with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, and let it dry completely. Rinse the sprayer with alcohol and pump it dry several times so that any residues run out of the pump. The packaging can be reused, but treat it the same way before each new filling. Otherwise you will carry residues of the previous fragrance or preservative over into the new product.

The bottle has a G18 thread and the sprayer is designed for exactly this neck, so the set seals without further adjustment. You will find other closures with the same neck type and other ready-made combinations in the Handymade range. For your own assembly, always check the tightness and the behaviour of the closure with the specific liquid.

The level of the contents cannot be seen through the white wall. The remaining amount is estimated from the weight or the number of presses.

The bottle is made of PET and the sprayer of polypropylene. When recycling, separate the two parts and sort them as plastic.
