HexaLite 26: The BERICAP Light Weight Product Range for Still Water
The HexaLite exists as HexaLite 26 FB, suitable for light weighted 26 mm neck finish and the HexaLite 29 FB, suitable for a light weighted 30 mm neck finish.
23/10/08 BERICAP has developed the closure range HexaLite for bottling of still water. The HexaLite exists as HexaLite 26 FB, suitable for light weighted 26 mm neck finish and the HexaLite 29 FB, suitable for a light weighted 30 mm neck finish.
The HexaLite 26 FB and the corresponding neck are a replacement to the 26,7 mm neck, predominantly in use in North America. Neck and closure weight add up to 2,8 g. Production of HexaLite has started in August 2008.
The HexaLite 26 FB is also an alternative for bottlers using currently the PET 30/25 neck and who want to achieve maximum weight saving.
Bottlers who wish to remain on a large neck like PET 30/25, which is predominantly used in Europe and countries around, may chose the HexaLite 29/25 from BERICAP with a corresponding neck. Neck and closure add up to more than 2 g compared to PET 30/25 solution.
All HexaLite closures are equipped with a slit and folded safety band (flexband) for efficient TE performance, reliable and forgiving application also on high-speed lines. The sealing system has been designed for maximum tightness.
Bericap has prepared a 2-piece Sportscap ThumbUp for the light weight necks PET 26 and PET 29/25 complementing the necks of water bottlers.
