The FGC's two-piece, push and turn, continuous thread closure provides senior-friendly child resistance surpassing the requirement of the Senior and CR CPSC protocols, writes the company.

The higher application torques of modified buttress threads provide resistance to loosening and product leakage.

The closure is available in 28-410 & 28-480mm and compatible with industry standard type screw neck-finishes.

According to the company, ideal applications for the FGC include baby oils, sunscreens, skin lotions.
