The foil used in Peel-Off closures is a thin aluminum foil used to hermetically seal the closure ring on metal containers. This aluminum foil is flexible, lightweight and corrosion resistant, making it suitable for maintaining the quality and freshness of packaged products.
The foil in Peel-Off closures is combined with a layer of polypropylene or other heat-sealable material, which allows for an efficient and secure seal between the closure and the container. By pulling the tab attached to the foil, the aluminum foil easily detaches from the ring, allowing the container to be opened effortlessly and without the need to use a can opener. This type of lid is common on food products such as canned tuna.
