Permeability (Barrier) Testers
The gas permeability of plastic films, well known as barrier property, is of primary importance in food and pharmaceutical packaging. In fact the capability to preserve the content of the packaging from the contact with air is fundamental for a right and healthy shelf-life of the products.
ExtraSolution’s Perm Line includes instruments for testing oxygen permeability (O2TR), water vapour (WVTR) permeability and carbon dioxide permeability (CO2TR). The instruments are produced in close cooperation with some leader sector companies, with a special care in matching the needs of the industrial R&D and the quality control labs.
