The IBC Inner Cap is a core component of the filling opening sealing system of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC totes), installed inside the DN150 or DN225 threaded filling opening to form a dual sealing barrier together with the outer cap. Typically injection-molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and equipped with EPDM or FPM gaskets, inner caps deliver excellent chemical resistance and sealing reliability, effectively preventing content leakage, blocking external contaminants, and supporting tamper-evident lead seals for transport security. They are widely used in the safe storage and transportation of bulk liquids across the chemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and agricultural sectors. Below is the ranking of the top six global manufacturers in this category.
