Calculating Oxygen Permeation of Food, Beverage Packaging
Plastic Technologies, Inc. (PTI), Holland, Ohio, launched a new free app that calculates the oxygen permeation of food and beverage packaging structures and containers. Called PackLifeO2, the app is based on the M-Rule model and is available on iPhone/iPad and Android platforms.
“We designed this app as a ‘back-of-envelope’ calculator for specific materials and combinations. While it’s not an absolute decision-making tool, it does give users confirmation that they are headed in the right direction,” says Ron Puvak, director of business development and marketing.
