41881 CAN 1A Abstract of the Disclosure This invention relates to innerseals for containers which will provide a visual indication, before use, as to whether the innerseal has been the subject of tampering. Certain kinds of innerseals can be removed from the mouths of containers by heating the innerseal to weaken the bond between the innerseal and container mouth and then carefully peeling the loosened innerseal away from the mouth of the container. The contents of the container can then be adulterated, and the innerseal resealed to the container mouth. Another method of tampering involves the steps of removing the innerseal from the mouth of a container having a relatively large diameter, cutting a disk out of the removed innerseal so that the disk is of a diameter suitable for covering the mouth of a container having a relatively small diameter, and heat sealing the altered disk to the mouth of the smaller container. This invention provides an innerseal for bottles or other containers comprising a facing layer, an insulating layer adhered to one major surface of said facing layer, and a thermally sensitive layer adhered to said insulating layer. In a second embodiment, the innerseal comprises a facing layer and a thermally sensitive layer adhered to said facing layer. Upon application of a sufficient amount of heat to the thermally sensitive layer, said layer will change its appearance in such a way as to provide an indication of tampering by means of heat.
