ALPHASEALTM Traditional Closure Aluminum ALPHASEAL Aluminum is a one-piece closure liner that is used in the packaging of a variety of non-acidic and non-alkaline products. Because of its inherent stain resistance and barrier properties, it can be used with many products that would affect other types of liners.

STORAGE AND HANDLING: Unipac recommends storage and processing at ambient conditions of 60-80°F and 40-60% relative humidity. Rolls should be stored on end and kept away from hot pipes and direct sunlight. Rolls should be acclimated for at least 48 hours to reach equilibrium with processing room conditions prior to lining caps. Failure to follow these recommendations increases the possibility of curling, blocking and dimensional changes. Unipac recommends that closure liner material be lined into caps within 60 days after receipt. Unipac recommends lined caps be used within (9) months after the caps are lined.
