Integral Package Barrier Property Testing Ensuring Package Quality - 1

Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd. info@labthink.com +86-531-85068566 Integral Package Barrier Property Testing Ensuring Package Quality Traditionally, barrier property testing was limited to films, leaving manufacturers and users of finished packages with limited data on the actual performance of their products. This gap led to potential quality issues. Thankfully, advancements in integral package barrier property testing have addressed this concern. There are three main testing methods for integral packages: Equal Pressure Method: This method is suitable for various packages, including bottles, pouches, and blisters. It works by introducing a test gas (like oxygen) on one side of the package and a carrier gas on the other. The sensor measures the amount of transmitted gas to determine the package's barrier property.  Differential Pressure Method: This method is ideal for measuring transmission rates of various gases but requires special techniques to maintain package shape under pressure differences. Weighing Method: This traditional method for water vapor transmission involves placing a desiccant inside the package and monitoring weight changes over time. However, it has limitations like long testing times and the need to open the package. Sensor Method: This method offers a faster and more automated alternative to the weighing method. It utilizes a sensor to measure water vapor transmission through the package wall under a controlled humidity environment.
