Caps and Closures

Top off your packaging with proven performance

From food and beverage to personal care to industrial caps and closures, our portfolio of polyethylene-based cap, closure and fitment materials can help develop innovative, sustainable solutions for almost anything that goes on top of a rigid – or flexible – container. These high quality polymers can help you achieve your design objectives in:

• Food and Beverage Closures 
• Monomaterial Recyclability
• Liners for Closures and Crowns

EVERCAP™ Innovative Closure Resins make an excellent choice for virtually every type of cap, closure, and fitment. This portfolio of differentiated polyethylene materials with exceptional performance and processability helps address key industry megatrends such as:

• Using lightweighting, simplified material use, and recyclability to reduce plastic waste and strengthen sustainability profiles
• Supporting health and wellness through aseptic, hot fill, and cold fill processes
• Improving shelf life/reducing food waste
• Enabling reduced torque for easier opening/closing
• Enhancing safety/security with consistent, reliable tamper evidence

CONTINUUM™ Bimodal Polyethylene Resins can enable unsurpassed lightweight performance through a unique balance of stiffness, ESCR, toughness, taste and odor and sealability for applications such as pressurized beverages, harsh chemicals and packages that require increased durability, safety and security.

ELVAX™ Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymers are an ideal choice for plastic cap liners and metal beverage crowns. Unlike other compounded liner materials, ELVAX™ EVAs contain no mineral oil, so bottle necks remain clean and clear. Liners made with ELVAX™ also deliver:

• Consistent hermetic seals/leak protection
• Better flavor/carbonation preservation
• Tamper-evident protection
• Easy opening/reduced removal torque
• Easy low-temperature processing 
  

For metal crowns, ELVAX™ helps answer growing demand for halogen- and plasticizer-free liners. Other benefits include:

• FDA approval for direct food/beverage contact 
• Tight, effective sealing
• Easy processing
• Excellent carbonation retention
• Consistent quality
• No adverse aftertaste
