Product Information

You need to be careful with this code, since most #7s are not recyclable. This is because it is a “catch-all” code, where any plastic that doesn’t fit into any other category gets assigned to be a #7. It may be a bio-plastic, that is made from plant-based materials like corn, and actually be food-safe, but there isn’t a sure way to tell from the recycling code alone. I have a short 2×4 to use with the rubber mallet when seating lids as sometimes I don’t know my own strength! LoL. In 1806, Webster’s first dictionary defined success as being “generous, prosperous, and kind.” While that definition has since been updated to “getting or achieving wealth, respect, and fame,” we are honored to do business based on the 1806 definition of success. Our community involvement is focused on education, our military service members, and 501(c)3 non-profit organizations that provide comprehensive services to children and adults with developmental disabilities. LUBRICATE GASKETS: To extend longevity and pliability of the rubber O-ring gaskets, DO NOT use petroleum jelly or petroleum based lubricants because this will eventually ruin (eat) the rubber. Instead use a silicone lube such as silicone plumbers grease:

Items made from this plastic are usually transparent, benefiting from the lightweight and strong qualities of PETE. Polypropylene is heat resistant and flexible, lending itself well to applications like drinking straws or hot food containers.So, don’t throw out those cans until you are sure they are bad. 11 years is a long time, but that can was fine. Once installed, Gamma seal lids enable easy-on, easy-off because they simply screw-on and screw-off (spin).

I also found pet food containers with Gama-Seal lids. They make them in different sizes. COSTCO sells the small ones, but I have a couple 50 lb. They even make 100 lb. I got mine from a pet food store. Lots of storage space if you don’t need to move them, as would be the case on a bottom shelf. These non-gasketed lids include a tear strip and are made of HDPE resin, a food-grade material. This is a good choice for applications where a tighter seal isn’t as necessary. Non-gasketed lids are also easier to apply than gasketed lids. Dimensions: 12.28" diameter x 1.41" height. A hard and rigid plastic used in a variety of settings, particularly for building and construction. This plastic is not considered food-safe.

In other words, don’t solely rely on the gamma lid seal for long term storage (e.g. wheat, rice, etc..). Rather, the gamma seal lid provides excellent easy access for AFTER you’ve opened the Mylar bag. It will keep everything dry and free from further oxygen accumulation as you begin to consume what’s inside.
