Product catalog summary
Overview
AMETEK MOCON provides expert consulting and testing services focused on barrier film, material, and package integrity testing. Their services are crucial for understanding permeation, which affects the functionality and shelf-life of packaged products.
Importance of Permeation Testing
Permeation testing is vital for various applications, including food and pharmaceutical packaging, medical wound dressings, electronics, and construction materials. It helps in quantifying the ingress and egress of gases like oxygen, water vapor, and carbon dioxide, which can impact product quality and longevity.
Testing Services Offered
  • Package Testing: Includes testing for pouches, bottles, trays, blister packs, and gaskets.
  • Film Permeation Testing: Covers simple polymers, multi-layered materials, and coatings.
  • Common Permeation Tests: Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR), Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR/MVTR), and Carbon Dioxide Transmission Rate (CO2TR).
Testing Methods and Standards
AMETEK MOCON employs industry-recognized test methods such as ASTM standards for various transmission rate analyses. These methods ensure high-quality barrier and package integrity testing.
Additional Services
  • Headspace testing for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP).
  • Custom test method development and validation.
  • Burst testing and seal integrity testing.
Consulting Services
AMETEK MOCON offers consulting services to educate personnel, develop customized testing solutions, and train operators. Their Applications Specialists and Consultants provide support beyond laboratory testing.

This movement impacts the functionality of the material and the shelf-life of the product within a package. Simply put, permeation touches many facets of our life. Some examples include: • Oxygen ingress into modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) used with foods and pharmaceuticals will react with the product and shorten its life. • Quantifying Oxygen breathability is important for medical wound dressings (to minimize...
