Five Reasons to Specify Vibe Closure Systems’ Products
UltraGrip™
UltraGrip™ manufactured to exacting standards and backed by VCS engineering and quality disciplines.
Dependable Sealing
Precision-controlled closure geometry and sealing interfaces provide reliable containment across demanding industrial applications.
Consistent Closure Performance
Controlled dimensions and manufacturing processes deliver repeatable plug engagement, tightening and sealing performance.
Robust Steel Construction
Engineered steel plugs and flanges provide the strength and durability required throughout filling, transportation, handling and storage.
Proven Industry Format
Built around the established steel plug-and-flange closure architecture used throughout the global drum industry, providing customers with a familiar and proven closure solution.
GardaCap™ Ready
UltraGrip™ can be combined with compatible GardaCap™ security caps to add advanced retention, anti-pry protection and irreversible tamper evidence where enhanced package security is required.

Ideal Application
General industrial oils, solvents, coatings and export drums requiring improved external corrosion protection versus unplated steel.
Water-based paints/coatings, detergents, mild aqueous chemicals and lined drums requiring internal corrosion barrier protection.
More demanding lined chemical applications, stronger solvents and products requiring enhanced internal coating resistance.
High-corrosion, high-purity, marine/high-humidity and premium applications where 316 stainless plus compatible gasket is required.
