gravity ii, lightweight and clever by global closure systemsglobal closure systems launches a new standard closure for the water market with a lightweight 26mm neck finish solution which provides the highest levels of performance and also safety to the consumers.the beverage market is highly standardised and is moving faster and faster towards further light weighting. the objective of gravity ii is to provide an interchangeable solution by offering a single thread closure while maintaining the same overall finish dimensions as the three thread 2622 gme 30.28 and allowing a simple customer line conversion. developed for both flat and carbonated water products, gravity ii is also a lightweight finish solution in its own right, with 2.05g against 3.85g for a pco1881 finish, and is 45 lighter than a pco16 finish.gravity ii has been designed to ensure safety for consumers. following a traditional manual opening performance testing and mechanical simulation of closure opening using industry standard equipment opening performance tester under controlled conditions, the closure displayed excellent safe venting with no blow off to meet the industry&rsquos requirements.a pioneer on the market, gravity ii is on the way to being approved by the international technical centre for bottling and related packaging cetie to be an industry standard. indeed, cetie has taken on board the new gcs 2622 single thread neck finish ref. gme 3038 as a new standard closure, for medium carbonated products up to 7gl co2.produced by obrist italy, a gcs&rsquo plant, gravity ii has already been selected by refresco and other major companies.back in 1971, gcs was the first in the beverage industry worldwide to introduce single piece hdpe closures and is today a global leader in beverage closure technology.
