Preserve your good taste,
and your brand integrity.

Water should taste like water.
When it comes to bottled water, no taste is a good
taste. Traditional slip-system lubricants break down
when exposed to UV, heat or ozone, yielding an
off-taste that’s impossible to hide. New Sincera
ensures that your water tastes like water, and
nothing else. It’s the first tasteless lubricant with
the removal torque characteristics you need.
The customer thinks it’s your water.
You know it’s the sealant.
With erucamide and other unsaturated amides, the
components that make caps easy to remove are the same
ones that produce undesirable off-taste compounds.
Sincera has none of the double-bond components
that lead to these issues, nor the purity-related issues
associated with wax flaking and extraction.

In preliminary taste tests, panelists expressed a 100%
preference for water products sealed with Sincera
container liners. They were unable to distinguish the
taste from products using no lubricant at all.
