Rutgers Reports Positive Results in Polymer Closure Laser Testing



CHICO, CALIF. (July 9, 2003)-Advanced Light Technologies, LLC today announced that research performed at Rutgers University has yielded positive results in laser testing on polymer closures. Advanced Light Technologies teamed with material science engineers at Rutgers to expose polymer materials to varying laser intensities. The research objective was to determine the degree to which the product could be treated with certain laser radiation, without material degradation to the closure or liner. This research is a preliminary step toward developing a photo sterilization process for packaging and closures for the beverage industry. Further testing for the biological aspects of this process will be conducted at California State University, Chico.
