Available globally, the Tri-Seal Tri-Vin laminated aluminum foil/foam barrier liner is engineered for roll-on pilfer-proof (ROPP) wine closures. It supports the aging of wine and promotes drinkability while cutting costs and protecting the environment. (Tri-Seal is a division of Tekni-Plex, Inc.)
Tin/Saran barrier liners are more commonly used for ROPP wine applications, but the new liner is a cheaper, environmentally friendly option that can easily replace them. Permeation tests were conducted by an independent laboratory to compare the performance of the laminated aluminum foil/foam barrier liner with that of alternate materials currently in use. In addition, the Australian Wine Research Institute carried out sensory organoleptic testing on the Tri-Vin liner.
