White Plastic Bottle, Transparent Spray with Glossy Silver Collar, 250 ml

This white plastic bottle with a capacity of 250 ml and a fitted mini trigger sprayer is used for filling liquid cosmetic products that are applied by spraying: facial and body toners, hydrosols, refreshing sprays, hair sprays or solutions for disinfecting tools. The set consists of a bottle with a 24/410 neck finish and a clear sprayer with a glossy silver collar, so once filled it is ready to use without having to look for a closure.

The bottle is made of PET, it is lightweight and does not break when dropped, which you will appreciate with products that are carried in a bag, used in the bathroom or sent to customers. The white colour hides the contents, so they are not exposed to direct light, and neither the level nor the colour of the product is visible. The clear sprayer head with a silver collar looks neutral on the white bottle.

What the set is suitable for

• Toners and hydrosols – thin water-based products that are applied to the face or body as a fine mist, and the sprayer dispenses them evenly.
• Hair sprays and fresheners – solutions for hair, scalp or textiles, where a larger volume and repeated spraying are expected.
• Alcohol solutions – sprays for hands or for disinfecting tools and work surfaces when making cosmetics.
• Cleaning and auxiliary solutions – for example water with a surfactant for cleaning moulds, or an alcohol solution for removing bubbles from the surface of soap and candles.

The sprayer is designed for thin liquids. It will not spray thicker emulsions, gels or heavy oils evenly, and they may clog it. For such products, a pump or a flip top closure on the same neck is more suitable.

How the set works

The sprayer is screwed onto the bottle and seals via the 24/410 neck finish. The dip tube reaches the bottom of the bottle so that as much of the contents as possible can be sprayed out without residue. One press of the head releases approximately 0.12 ml of product, which is enough to apply toner to the face or to moisten the palm without waste. Before first use, press the head several times to prime it, until the tube and the mechanism fill with liquid.

Volume and filling

The nominal volume of 250 ml is the amount the bottle is intended for with normal filling. The actual volume of the bottle up to the neck is larger. The difference is a reserve for the 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 up to the nominal volume, not to the brim. If it were filled up to the neck, some of the product would be pushed out when fitting the sprayer and the contents would get into the thread.

Good to know

Both the bottle and the sprayer are declared suitable for contact with cosmetic products, and you will find the declaration of conformity with each component. Only the bottle has a separate certificate for direct contact with food. The set as a whole is intended for cosmetics, so it is not recommended for filling with food.

Before first filling, rinse the bottle and the sprayer with clean water, disinfect them with isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and leave them to dry completely. Moisture left in the tube or in the thread would introduce microorganisms into a water-based product. Repeat the same procedure each time you reuse them, spraying clean water through the sprayer several times, followed by alcohol.

PET is not intended for filling with hot contents. Let the product cool to room temperature before filling, otherwise the bottle may become deformed. For products with a higher proportion of essential oils or with organic solvents, we recommend filling a trial piece and checking after a few weeks that the plastic has not turned cloudy or softened and that the sprayer still seals.

The bottle has a 24/410 neck, which also fits other closures with the same type of thread from the Handymade range. If you are making your own combination, we recommend checking the seal and dispensing with the specific product.

For recycling, the bottle belongs with plastics as PET. The sprayer combines plastic and an aluminium collar, so unscrew it before disposal and do not dispose of it together with the bottle as one piece.
