The company’s in-house team has developed a range of barrier preforms and bottles in multilayer and monolayer formats. They include ResiOx 3-6-9 barriers against O 2 ingress, suitable for juices, wines and sauces; ResiC barriers against CO 2 loss for CSD prod- ucts; ResiBlock 0-2-4 light barrier for dairy; resiMid and ResiMax barriers agasnt CO 2 loss and O 2 ingress, designed for beer packaging. www.resilux.com Hall 5 | Booth 323 Bericap Lightweight closures and necks also save CO 2 The Bericap stand will illustrate the variety of caps the company produces, its drive to reduce weight and consequent CO 2 savings. It offers five different generic closure designs for PCO 1881, including the DoubleSeal SuperShorty Eco (DS SuS eco), which weighs only 2,1g, which is suitable for carbon- ated beverages with up to 8g CO 2 /l. Bericap offers a still version (DS SuS Still), which includes an antisabotage feature and can be applied with same chucks as DS SuS eco. The company has also developed numerous custom designed closures for PCO 1881. The company’s Hexalite range is designed for PET 29/25 and PET 26/22 standards for still beverage bottles. North America will soon see the current 43mm hotfill neck finishes superseded by 38mm; visitors to the stand will be able to dis- cuss its solutions, as well as one-piece closure technology and two- and three-piece sports caps. Bericap says that, by the end of Q1/2011 it will have converted more than 50% of its bever- age closure capacity to lightweighted closures. It estimates that the resin savings will contribute to reducing CO 2 emissions by 60,000t/a. www.bericap.com Hall 4 | Booth 515
