A Unipac (formerly 3M Cap-Seal) product. A range of one piece lining materials with a substrate choice of either unbleached virgin pulpwood or folding box board. Both conform to the stringent requirements of food approval bodies in a majority of countries. Can be used to line plastic and metal closures.
The functionality of the AlphaSeal liner depends on the facing material applied to the pulpwood or box board substrate. Choices for facing material include polyester, PVDC, Saran, aluminum/foil/polyester, SA-66, univinyl, or aluminum foil.
Depending on facing material selected, the AlphaSeal provides a general purpose sealing of bottles containing wet or dry products, solvents, weak acids and alkalines, and can provide a gas barrier.

Full Wax (W) treatment is generally used on wide mouth closures as a caulking agent. It is difficult for many liner facings to provide a satisfactory seal on wide mouth containers. The larger the finish, the greater the tolerance in both container and finish. Inherent waves and dips in large finishes also contribute to this condition. The full wax treatment is generally suggested for closures 58mm and above, primarily as a sealing aid. It also provides an additional moisture barrier and acts as a lubricant similar to the LW and LF coating treatments.

Extruded 75 gauge saran film laminated directly to Kraft lined pulpboard with a wax coating on the saran. There is always a full wax coating on this liner.
Lubricant Finish (LF). Lubricant finish treatment is used to reduce excessive removal torque build-up found with plain vinyl and P/E coated papers. These papers have a tendency to cold flow after the closure is applied, causing removal torque build up, which is accentuated with time and temperature. The LF coating is effective in minimizing this problem.
The LF coating is also used with Saran film, which has a tendency to grasp the glass sealing surface during capping. This results in erratic capping performance and false application values. Closures which appear to be on tight are reduced to approximately zero removal torque with only slight impact on handling. To overcome this tendency and insure good application and removal torque performance, the LF coating of wax treatment is used.
Light Wax (LW). Light wax treatment is generally used to improve the moisture vapor barrier characteristics of a given liner facing. The type of wax used for this treatment also acts as a lubricant in the same manner that LF coating of wax does.
Newsboard (NB) is a common backing material to which facings are laminated in the manufacture of duplex liners. Newsboard is a paper board composed of recycled paper fibers (occasionally pigmented) from suitably ground and digested paper stock. NB is an alternate to pulpboard, but has less dependable uniformity, particularly with respect to impurities which may be present. It is generally shorter-fibered, hence less rigid, and thus gives the impression of greater softness. In actual compression tests, it is almost invariably found to be slightly harder or less compressible than pulp. Usually gray in color. It can also have a yellow or white lining on one side.
Pulp and Aluminum Foil: .0015 aluminum foil laminated to paper and then laminated to pulpboard.

Oil paper is always suggested with pulpboard backing and with or without a wax coating depending upon the application.
Pulp/Polyethylene Coated Paper. Pulpboard backing with a .0015" P/E coated paper facing.
Application: Provides an excellent moisture barrier.
Pulp and Vinyliner Lubricant Finish: Vinyl Coating applied to low-density polyethylene coated white paper laminated to pulpboard with LF (lubricant finish wax treatment) over vinyl.
A thermosetting vinyl chloride-acetate copolymer coating applied to a high density polyethylene treated white sulfite or bleached Kraft paper. Provides a reasonably good moisture, alcohol and gas barrier but is softened by essential oils and ketones. Usually the facing is suggested in combination with pulp backing and lubricant finish. The lubricant finish facilitates closure removal after extended periods of product storage.
Pulp/Polyvinyl Lubricant Film. Pulpboard backing with vinyl coating applied to HDPE-coated white paper, with lubricant finish over the vinyl.
Manufactured by SANCAP Liner Technology, Inc.
Polystyrene Foam is a backing material to which facings are laminated in the manufacture of duplex liners. It is a P/S foam blown into white foam and extruded to the thickness desired.

Pulp/Saran Coated Kraft Paper. Pulpboard backing with a 20# emulsion coating of polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC or Saran) on polycoated 35# Kraft paper facing. It can also be supplied on bleached Kraft paper, resulting in a white material rather than yellow/brown.
This liner combinations exhibits better moisture protection and oxygen protection than oil paper.
Pulpboard/Saran Film. Pulpboard backing with a 75-gauge Saran film laminated to white paper facing. This liner allows less transmission of most vapors than does vinyl. It is suggested in preference to vinyl in specialized instances where greater resistance to ketones or essential oils is needed. Use of LF wax is strongly suggested to allow smoother, more consistent cap application, particularly with plastic closures.
Pulpboard/Saran Film/Lubricant Finish: Same as P/SF with the addition of a lubricant finish wax treatment.
Pulp and Tin Foil: .0015 in foil adhered to paper; the paper then laminated to pulpboard.
Pulp/Vinyl: Vinyl laminated to .035 pulp board.

Pulp and Polyester/Saran: White paper backed, polyester film, reverse side saran coated, laminated to pulpboard.
Pulp/White Paper Waxed: This liner consist of a waxed paper laminated to pulpboard using an adhesive consisting of a wax and synthetic resin blend. The waxed papers is the specific product of one manufacturer. This liner is specifically applicable to the packaging of dry hydroscopic products. It provides an excellent and relatively inexpensive barrier against entry of atmospheric moisture. There is a wax costing approximately 0.002" thick on the white paper.

Also P. Pulpboard is a common backing material to which facings are laminated in manufacture of duplex liners. It is mostly ground wood or mechanical pulp (usually about 80 percent ground wood to 20 percent sulphite pulp). It can be made up of virgin and reclaimed wood fibers. Standard thickness is .035".
Solid wood pulpboard is clean, sanitary, free of objectionable odors and flavors, and is satisfactory for use in direct contact with food.
A thermoplastic polymer of vinylidene chloride (1.1-dechloroethylene), it is a white powder with softening temperature at 185 to 200 degrees Celcius. Polyvinylidene chloride is also known as "Saran".
Liner consisting of plain pulpboard with a .001" to .002" thick coating of wax on one side. Its sole point of merit is low cost. It is an adequate liner for packaging non-hygroscopic dry products, but should not be used where other than very nominal protection from atmospheric moisture is needed. Not recommended for liquid products.

Tacseal is an Owens-Illinois trademark for the inner seal which is found on products such as instant coffee and pharmaceuticals. It is held in the closure prior to application to the container, either by means of a Full Wax (W) coating on the reseal liner or by over sizing the Tacseal and friction-fitting it into the cap.
The three primary types of Tacseal systems (classified by adhesive) are wet glue, pressure-sensitive and heat-activated. Tacseal is transferred from the closure to the container by means of the adhesive system.
The major Tacseal material now available from OI is glassine. It is used exclusively on dry products.

A SANCAP Liner Technology product. Vinyl coated white paper.
Vinyliner Plain is a pigmented vinyl chloride-acetate copolymer coating on a primed bleached Kraft paper. Color: White.
Suggested product uses include after shave lotion, bleaching fluid, castor oil, cuticle remover, expectorant, eye wash, face cream, formaldehyde, glycerin, hair tonic, witch hazel, mineral oil, smelling salts, alcohols, fruit extracts, writing ink, shoe dressing and hydraulic brake fluid.
Wax is widely used as a component of liner facings and serves three principal functions:
1) Lubricates the facing. This prevents excessive adherence to the glass or plastic finish, which may cause closures to be difficult to remove.
2) Reduces vapor transmission. Many dry products are packaged using liners, which depend on wax entirely as the vapor barrier.
3) Acts as a caulking agent. On wide mouth containers, the wax helps to compensate for surface variations in the container finish.
