Application
Aluminum-plastic combination caps are widely used in the packaging industry for sealing bottles containing pharmaceuticals, beverages, and cosmetics. These closures effectively combine the strength and barrier properties of aluminum with the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of plastic. The robust design ensures tamper evidence and helps maintain the product’s integrity, making them ideal for the pharmaceutical industry where safety and reliability are paramount.
Composition of Aluminum-Plastic Combination Caps
- Aluminum Component: The outer shell of these caps is often made of aluminum, providing a robust and tamper-evident closure with an attractive finish. Its strength offers superior protection against environmental factors.
- Plastic Component: Typically utilized for the inner liner or closure mechanism, plastic ensures a tight seal while allowing for ease of opening. This combination of materials maximizes functionality and user convenience.
Testing Methods and Standards
- ISO 8872: This standard outlines the testing methods for determining the tab tear-off force, which is critical for ensuring ease of use and functionality.
- ISO 10985: Specifies the force required to remove plastic components, ensuring that caps are both secure and user-friendly.
- ISO 8536 Series: Covers the tensile and elongation force tests for aluminum parts, essential for assessing the mechanical properties of the closure materials.
- Other Relevant Standards:
- ISO 7500-1: General requirements for testing machines.
- ISO 8362-6 and ISO 8362-7: Focus on the specifications for injection vials and closures, ensuring compatibility and performance.
