Tuesday 26. May 2009 - BERICAP, one of the leading global closure manufacturers has, in co-operation with a producer of aerosol cans in North America, developed a new closure solution for aerosol cans. This new VUN SK 24/12 AF closure was recently introduced to the North American market.

In common with other industries the metal packaging industry needs to develop new closure solutions to counter the general cost pressures. With regard to aerosol cans, special requirements for safety and functionality must be ensured all times. The closing process at the packer/filler must have extremely high efficiencies and last but not least the closure must perform satisfactorily for the consumer.
To protect sensitive chemical products against evaporation the closure can additionally be supplied with an aluminium foil liner.
Having understood these basic conditions, BERICAP has developed the new closure VUN SK 24/12 AF. The major difference to the previous 3-piece version is that the new construction uses 2 pieces only. This is a significant modification and demonstrates a considerable weight saving of about 42%. The closure can be supplied with or without a child resistant (CR) feature to guard against opening by children especially where hazardous products are involved. The closure fulfils the safety norm US 16 CFR § 1700.20 as well as ISO 8317 in Europe.
In close co-operation with its customers and acknowledging the requirements of the market, BERICAP, as a valued partner in the industry, consistently develops new and innovative solutions for the metal packaging industry. An up-to-date range of closures will be presented at the CANNEX exhibition in China in June this year.
