ALCOA: ALCOA: Extreme temperature closures

Wide-ranging temperature conditions can cause shrinkage of the heat-sensitive PET material, which can cause gaps to develop between the finish and the closure. The XT liner design incorporated an inner and outer seal, providing maximum protection against gaps.
