Abstract
This thesis investigated the effect of an induction sealing process and time on the removal torque of continuous thread and child resistant plastic closures. An application torque of 19 in-lb was applied to the high density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle/closure systems. After passing the bottle/closures through the induction sealer, the immediate removal torque values were measured and recorded. Additionally, sampled bottles/closures were set aside and removal torques were measured over time.
