  • a polymer separation layer is provided which can be produced inexpensively and is suitable for use with food or pharmaceuticals.
  • closure seals are known and are used inter alia for sealing containers for food, chemicals or medicines.
  • the closure seal is applied with its primary seal facing the container for this purpose after filling the container on the edge of the container opening, so as to protect the contents of the container from manipulation or other environmental influences, in particular from unwanted oxygen or humidity supply. In this case, an unwanted detachment of the closure seal is prevented for example by the fact that the primary seal on the upper edge of the container opening z.

  • the held between the projection or bead and the top plate secondary seal is pressed when screwing the screw on the upper edge of the container opening, so that it is sealed.
  • the degree of sealing depends on the material of the secondary seal and the contact pressure.
  • the individual material webs for the secondary seal, the release layer and the primary seal are laminated to form a material web composite. From the material web composite, the closure seals are punched out in a further step.
  • the material webs for known primary seals typically again comprise a PET layer, an aluminum layer and a heat seal adhesive arranged in this order on one another, wherein the aluminum layer may be printed or may have a printed film layer.
  • the imprint or printed film layer is used primarily for marketing purposes or for representing consumer information.
  • the material web for the secondary seal often consists of a chromium carton or a sandwich of two polypropylene squeezers, ie P P layer, limited polyethylene foam layer, in short PE foam layer. With the PP layers, the pores of the foam layer are closed in such a way that no product particles and / or impurities or germs can settle therein.
  • the punched-seal seals are introduced with the secondary seal in the front in the screw cap of a container, wherein the closure seal is pressed against the top plate and thereby between the projection, the z.
  • the form of a at least partially in the circumferential direction extending bead may or may consist of several, distributed along the inner periphery of the closure shell, separate projections, and the top plate of the screw cap is arranged.
  • the diameter of the closure seal is at least partially greater than that defined by the one or more projections free inner diameter of the closure shell, so that the corresponding radially outer portions of the closure seal in the radial region between the inner diameter D of the closure shell and defined by the one or more projections Diameter of the closure shell lie.
  • the projection or bead thus holds the closure seal in place and thus prevents the closure seal from accidentally falling out when the screw cap is screwed onto the container.
  • the closure seal When first applying the cap, for example, screwing a screw cap, the closure seal is pressed with the primary seal facing the container by the axial movement resulting from the rotating screwing movement on the upper edge of a circular container opening. By inductive heat sealing, the primary seal is then glued to the edge of the container opening. The result is an airtight and humidity-tight seal the container opening.
  • the primary seal along the separating layer is separated from the secondary seal by the rotational movement and the resulting force in the direction of the top plate.
  • the secondary seal remains in the screw between the projection or bead and the top plate, while the primary seal continues to reliably close the container opening.
  • the closure seal can be cut, pierced and then removed. After piercing or cutting the primary seal, the container opening is completely or partially exposed by cutting or tearing it. The piercing or cutting of the primary seal generally requires the use of a tool and is therefore cumbersome.
  • the primary seal is forcibly destroyed by pushing it in with the bare fingers or fingernails, the primary seal often gives way only under great force and is thus uncontrolled.
  • the fingers used for opening can be immersed in the product or the container can be knocked over by the jerky movement when yielding the primary seal and the product emerge unintentionally.
  • piercing or cutting the primary seal with a tool involves the risk that the container contents underneath will be damaged or contaminated by the tool used, eg knife or scissors. Also stay of that cut or torn primary seal often adhere remnants to the edge of the container opening, which interfere with the removal of the product.
  • the primary seal may consist of two layers that are only half glued together so that the non-bonded half of the top layer may act as a tab that can be used to peel off the primary seal.
  • a tab effectively has two diametrically opposite points of attachment or detachment points from the container opening, which requires a relatively large expenditure of force during detachment.
  • the object is achieved by a substantially circular closure seal having the features mentioned, wherein the primary seal has at least one extending in the radial direction tab whose projection over the circular surface (F) in the radial direction between 1 mm and 5 mm, preferably between 2 mm and 4 mm.
  • the object is further achieved in that the primary seal has at least one radially extending tab whose projection in the radial direction is at least 1 mm and at most half the difference between the outer diameter d of the container opening and the inner diameter D of the closure shell corresponds.
  • a tab with such a protrusion in the radial direction allows after unscrewing the cap and thereby carried out separation of the secondary seal from the primary seal a simple and secure gripping of the tab, so that the primary seal as a whole can be detached from the upper edge of the container opening.
  • the size of the supernatant ensures that the tab of the primary seal, together with the corresponding parts of the secondary seal in the screw cap, extends radially into the area between the projection and bead and the top plate, thereby bending the tab when inserting the closure seal and thus Also, an unwanted sticking of the tab with the remaining primary sealing surface during heat sealing is effectively avoided.
  • the secondary seal completely covers the primary seal, including the tab. This is advantageous because the secondary seal during insertion of the closure seal in the screw cap supports the tab and so unwanted deformations of the closure seal, in particular a bending of the tab is effectively prevented.
  • the secondary seal is precisely adapted to the shape of the primary seal.
  • Such closure seals can be produced on punching out of a material web with less material loss, since the closure seals can be arranged close to one another on the material web by projecting the tab (s) of a closure seal into the region outside a tab or between tabs of an adjacent closure seal.
  • the primary seal has a plurality of protruding tabs arranged at equal angular intervals along the closure seal periphery.

  • the at least one tab preferably extends in the circumferential direction over an angle segment between 10 ° and 60 °, preferably between 20 ° and 45 °.
  • the tabs extend in the circumferential direction of the substantially circular primary sealing surface over a length of 5 mm to 60 mm.
  • a tab which extends over such an angular segment or a length of 5 mm to 60 mm in the circumferential direction ensures that the tensile force applied to detach the primary seal is distributed over the angular segment or the respective peripheral section and any shearing force peaks the transition between tab and primary sealing surface are largely avoided.
  • Such tabs are easy to grip and thus facilitate the detachment of the primary seal from the container opening.
  • the secondary seal must have a larger diameter than the primary seal, or the tab of the primary seal which is congruent with the secondary seal must extend for more than 180 ° in the circumferential direction ,
