Materials
A SupremeCorq closure is made of superior food-grade thermoplastic elastomeric materials (similar to those used in medical devices and baby products) using the highest quality injection molds. They are neutral and do not support microbial growth (TCA) or impart flavor.
Because it is made from an elastomer, a SupremeCorq has "elastic" type properties which allow it to expand, contract and rebound. SupremeCorq closures comply with FDA and EU regulations.
Synthetic closures are also made from natural materials. To produce food contact grade quality materials, a variety of basic compounds such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are extracted from natural materials such as petroleum, coal and natural gas. These materials are combined together in a variety of sophisticated ways to produce different types of recyclable synthetic materials.
In sensory tests from several leading laboratories worldwide, there is no mention of a plastic flavor imparting to the wine as a result of using SupremeCorq synthetic closures. The material that we use was chosen for its neutrality as well as its elastomeric qualities.
