Plastisol Liners
Plastisol Liners are very popular in the food industry for canning, hot sauces, barbecue sauces and many other applications. They have a plastic gasket on the inside of a metal closure that creates an airtight seal with the container when properly heated and cooled. They provide tamper evidence and a hermetic seal but must be used with containers that can withstand high heat.
