What is a Dropper Bottle Used For?

Dropper Bottles are used for storing liquid medication such as eye-drops. The glass dropper bottle is one of the safest methods for storing medicine. The reason the glass dropper bottle is considered the safest storage method is that it does not allow chemicals to be transmitted into the contents of the bottle. Dropper bottles are usually made of glass but can also come in plastic. The tubes taper off to a narrow point that allows the user to dispense small amounts of liquid. The top is fitted with a rubber bulb that will enable you to distribute the liquid as needed. Primarily the dropper bottle is used for eye drop application as well as a dropper for ear, hair, and mouth. The dropper bottle is translucent so that you can see the amount of liquid in there. Some dropper bottles are made from darker glass, such as amber, to protect certain medications that cannot be exposed to sunlight. Some dropper bottles are marked others are not. Uses for the Dropper Bottle Medicine can be dispensed using the dropper bottle.

What is Opal glass

Opal glass has been around a long time, it was first manufactured by glass blowing houses in 16th century Venice! Opal glass is made by adding opacifiers to the melt. The particles in the opacifiers scatter light via the Tyndal Scattering Mechanism. The way light is scattered and the secondary colors produced depend on the size of the particles in the opacifiers added to the melt. Modern opal glass typically has the appearance of opaque white glass, but has also been manufactured historically in pink, blue, yellow, brown and black. When the thinner parts of the glass, like around the neck finish are viewed in the light they can appear slightly blue or sometimes orange, like in the photo shown above. This is the effect of the Tyndal Scattering Mechanism.
