BERICAP’s DoubleSeal SuperShorty® secures high quality of beer also in hot climates
Especially for the beer market, BERICAP has developed a closure in ‘crown cork design’, the DoubleSealTM SuperShorty® Crown O2S closure, which looks very similar to the traditional beer crown cork and it was the first 28mm closure fitting to the PCO 1881 neck.
Beer as an oxygen sensitive product challenges the PET bottle and the closure with respect to oxygen transmission.
The world market for beer filled in PET bottles and closed by plastic screw caps is steadily growing. Starting 2003 in Germany, several countries, mainly in Eastern Europe, have meanwhile introduced beer in PET bottles.
Outside Europe it was China starting in 2009 with beer in PET bottles using BERICAP DoubleSealTM SuperShorty® Crown O2 (oxygen scavenger).
Recently a beer brewer introduced in India the 1 ltr package PET Bottles for his beer and decided to use the BERICAP DoubleSealTM SuperShorty® Crown O2 - a special beer closure that requires the high quality of beer in PET even in hot climates such as it is in India.
First bottles using BERICAP DoubleSealTM SuperShorty® Crown O2 are already available in the Indian market.
