Since the 1970s, with rising environmental awareness, aluminum ROPP (Roll-On Pilfer-Proof) closures have seen widespread adoption. ROPP is a type of screw cap made primarily of aluminum, valued for its easy opening, excellent sealing, and recyclability. It's widely used to seal bottles for wine, spirits, beverages, food, and pharmaceuticals.
One of the biggest advantages of ROPP closures is their tamper-evident design, effectively preventing refilling and contamination. HAOMEI Aluminum’s new-generation ROPP closures not only offer customizable appearances but also feature diverse liner options to enhance sealing performance, extend shelf life, and suit a wider range of contents.
Why Liners Matter So Much
The secret to every closure lies in its liner. Though it seems small and simple, this component is crucial for forming a tight seal between the cap and bottle, controlling oxygen ingress, preventing leaks, and protecting freshness and flavor.
ROPP Aluminum Closure Liner Options Include:
EPE Foam Liner:
One of the most common types, made of polyethylene foam, offering good sealing and cushioning. Suitable for various non-carbonated beverages, foods, and personal care products.Saranex Liner:
Excellent barrier properties, especially against oxygen and moisture. Widely used for wine, spirits, and food products requiring higher freshness protection.Saran Tin (Tin-Saran) Liner:
Combines tin and Saran’s advantages to deliver outstanding oxygen barrier properties—ideal for premium wines and long-term storage products.PVC Liner:
Provides reliable sealing but is increasingly being replaced by PVC-free alternatives for environmental reasons.LDPE Liner:
Low-density polyethylene liners offer good flexibility and sealing performance for a variety of liquid products.TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) Liner:
Offers excellent elasticity and sealing, often used as a PVC-free alternative.Induction Seal Liner:
Features a foil layer inside the cap that melts onto the bottle mouth via electromagnetic induction, creating the strongest seal and tamper-evident protection. Widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, and chemical packaging.
