Can end

A can end for enclosing a container body comprising:

• a curl extending circumferentially about a longitudinal axis;
• a circumferential wall extending downwardly from a radially inner portion of the curl;
• a circumferential strengthening member joined to a lower segment of the circumferential wall;
• and
• a center panel about which the circumferential strengthening member extends having a public side opposite a produce side, the center panel comprising:
• a peripheral edge defining a radially outer perimeter of the center panel;
• a tear panel spaced radially inwardly from the peripheral edge;
• and
• a rivet;
• a tab attached to the center panel by the rivet, the tab comprising:
• a lift end opposite a nose portion, the nose portion overlaying the tear panel in a frangible score breaking position;
• a tongue area having a rivet aperture through which the rivet passes to attach the tab to the center panel;
• a void region partially surrounding the tongue area having a first leg extending along a first side of the tongue area and a second leg extending along a second side of the tongue area;
• and
• a substantially leak-proof seal formed over at least one of the rivet, the tongue area, and void region,
• wherein the tab further comprises a sealer on an underside of the tab and in face-to-face relationship with the public side of the center panel, wherein the sealer is configured to withstand a leakage of a contents of a container to which the can end is attached by creating a barrier between the underside of the tab and the center panel, wherein the sealer is circumferential from a first point at the nose portion through a second point at the lift end and back to the first point at the nose portion of the tab, such that the sealer forms a closed loop.
