HDPE Induction Wads
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a highly crystalline, non-polar thermoplastic characterized by an exceptionally low surface energy. This molecular reality dictates that standard adhesives cannot form adequate bonds with the polymer matrix. Consequently, bonding a protective membrane to an HDPE container lip requires a highly specialized heat-sealable polymer layer, typically formulated from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers or specific polyethylene blends that share molecular compatibility and chain mobility with the container substrate.
Key Benefits
Permanent tamper evidence
Excellent moisture barrier
Pulp backing provides mechanical cushioning
