Definitions

  • the glue can be supplied from the outside or already applied to the holding insert/inside of the sealing surfaces.
  • the bonding or welding can be done by supplying heat.
  • the bonding can also be carried out using UV-curing adhesives.
  • the sealing surfaces can only be partially provided in the joining area with coatings such as an adhesion promoter or a hot-melt adhesive, which can be applied, for example, by spraying, rolling or as a tape.
  • the adhesion promoter and hot melt adhesive have a lower melting point than the plastic of the preform from which the container is made.
  • the adhesion promoter or hot-melt adhesive can also be textured.
  • the ratio of a maximum thickness of the carrier element, which extends between the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface, to a length of the retaining insert, which extends along the sealing surfaces, is advantageously between 1:1 and 1:10 and preferably between 1:2 and 1:4.
  • the curvature of the holding insert is not too pronounced, as a result of which the sealing surfaces can bear against the holding insert over their entire surface.
  • the holding insert is advantageously made from a material which can be connected in a fluid-tight manner to the material of the sealing surfaces.
  • the holding insert and the sealing surfaces will be made of plastic. Due to the fact that the plastics of the sealing surfaces and the holding insert flow into one another during welding, their connection is generally permanently tight.
