Awarded Product

Thermoplastic Elastomers

Within the framework of the BrauBeviale Trade Fair at Nuremberg the awarding of the 34th German Packaging prize took place. Organized by the German Packaging Institute (DVI), this annual competition highlights particularly innovative packaging solutions in various categories. This year in the category "Design, Features, Finishing" the metal screw cap Pano blue seal powered by PROVALIN^® was awarded. This is a vacuum closure manufactured by Pano Verschluss GmbH and used by Reichold Feinkost GmbH.

The core of this closure is represented by the innovative PVC-free PROVALIN^® sealing compound developed by ACTEGA. This is the first time a PVC-free closure has managed to be successfully established in this market segment. Apart from the many advantages during lid production, PROVALIN^® also offers consumers maximum safety as regards migration (of undesirable substances from the closure into food) and easily complies with all of the stringent statutory regulations currently applicable for contact with foodstuffs.

Sustainability is a topic of importance to ACTEGA and Pelliconi where it is consistently implemented in the development of new products and processes. Such as the SOPURE 51 seal offered by Pelliconi with its PVC-free PROVALIN^® sealant from ACTEGA which is since the beginning of 2018 commercial, after many years of development during the difficult Press-On Twist-off^® seal project and an extremely time-intensive test and trial period. Thus a gap is closed for the highly-sensitive area of baby food. Within the framework of the Can of the Year Award, this has led to the Canmaker Gold Award for the PVC-free Press-On Twist-off^® seal for baby food.
