Comprehensive Analysis of the Impact of Thickness on Barrier Properties of Films - 1

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 Comprehensive Analysis of the Impact of Thickness on Barrier Properties of Films The barrier properties of films, such as their ability to resist the permeation of gases like oxygen and water vapor, are crucial for the packaging of a wide range of products, including food, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. These properties are influenced by various factors, among which the thickness of the film plays a significant role. This study explores the relationship between film thickness and barrier performance, focusing on oxygen and water vapor transmission rates. Understanding the barrier properties of films is essential. Higher oxygen and water vapor barrier properties can extend the shelf life of products by preventing oxidation, moisture loss, and contamination. Barrier films help maintain the quality and integrity of products during storage and transportation. Knowledge of barrier properties aids in the selection of appropriate packaging materials for specific products and applications. Many industries have regulations regarding the barrier properties of packaging materials. This study tested the several materials to explores the relationship between film thickness and oxygen and water vapor barrier performance. The tested materials include plastic films, aluminum foil, films with metal coatings and film with ceramic coatings, and multilayer films composed of different materials.

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 Labthink C403H Oxygen/Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System is a versatile instrument used to measure the oxygen and water vapor transmission rates of various materials. This system employs coulometric oxygen sensors and infrared water vapor sensors, adhering to standards such as ASTM D3985 and ISO 15106-2. Generally, as the thickness of a film increases, its barrier properties improve. This is because a thicker film offers a longer diffusion path for gases, reducing the rate at which they can permeate through the...
