Our products are available in a wide range of sizes, colors, and customizable material compositions to meet specific application needs.

Cap & Liner Assemblies Offering

Features & Benefits

  • Complete assemblies including caps with inserted liners
  • Liner compositions can be customized by materials, thickness, durometer, and color
  • Insertion options include: Microlink™ bonded, press-fit, and glue-fit caps.  
    • Microlink is a propitiatory sonic welding bonding process.  Our Microlink process utilizes a mechanical bond without the need for adhesives or chemicals.
    • Microlink bonded cap & liner options prevent liner fall-out
  • Chemically resistant films available
  • Breathable liners allow for off-gassing to prevent bursting or failures
  • PTFE alternatives available   
     

Typical Applications

  • Diagnostics & Microbiology: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) testing and sample collection are supported by ultra-pure, low leachable and extractable materials. The mechanically bonded cap and liner eliminate adhesive and prevent liner fall-out.
  • Environmental & Water Testing: Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) water testing is facilitated by Saint-Gobain liners designed to withstand demanding solutions.
  • Chromatography: Benefits from open top cap with liner solutions tailored to your testing needs, offering complete closures or septa-only options.
  • Pharmaceutical Packaging: Provides leak-proof, inert, and reliable solutions to meet all application and regulatory requirements, with sterilizable options available based on the chosen solution.
  • Medical Device Packaging: Custom liner solutions for the heart valve market, utilizing ultra-pure materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing automation equipment.
