• A number of different shapes and
designs are created and simulated to
determine which one works best
• Refining to meet EN standard
• VDT TPEs can help reach compliance
with EN1621-1 level 2 and EN1621-2
level 1
• Optimum protection can be achieved
by combining industrial design and
engineering

TEMPERATURE
The "crown cap," the ubiquitous,
indispensable style of bottle cap found on
beer and soft drink bottles around the world,
was created in 1891 by William Painter.
Painter was born in Ireland and immigrated
to the US in 1858 at the age of 20.
