Water Vapor Transmission Testing System for Packaging Applications
Minneapolis-based MOCON, Inc. unveiled what is said to be the first-ever, fully-automated water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) testing system for packaging and other barrier structures. The PERMATRAN-W Model 3/34 G allows operators to mount a test film, set the temperature/relative humidity conditions and begin the test to select and qualify optimum barrier materials.
The goal is to meet performance, shelf life and cost parameters for moisture-sensitive products. This is made possible by MOCON’s new TotalCal capability, which improves accuracy and eliminates significant set up time. The PERMATRAN-W Model 3/34 G is also ideal for converters and resin producers who want to test film materials as well as finished packages.
