EVOH Barrier film oxygen transmission rate testing

Oxygen transmission rate (OTR) is the measurement of the amount of oxygen gas that passes through a substance over a given period. It is mostly carried out on non-porous materials, where the mode of transport is diffusion, but there are a growing number of applications where the transmission rate also depends on flow through apertures of some description.

Product Detail

What affects the OTR of films



Good oxygen barrier is achieved by combining functional layers to create a film with the required barrier, as well as those other properties necessary to produce a serviceable package. For example, EVOH has exceptional OTR properties, but needs moisture barrier and mechanical properties provided by layers that are coextruded or laminated around it.



OTR is most affected by the following factors.



1. Thickness of barrier layer: Generally, the thicker the oxygen barrier-providing layer, the better the barrier. But there are process and cost limitations that restrict the thicknesses that can be realistically produced or successfully utilized.



2. Copolymer ratio, plasticizer content, and polymerization process: All PVdCs (or EVOHs or PVOHs) are not created equal. Properties are compromised during polymer and product development, so that total performance in target applications is optimized. There can be substantial differences in OTR values depending on the selections made. For example, both ASB-X and AXT are PVdC-coated and sealable, but their OTRs are 4.5 cc/100 in2/24 hr and .40 cc/1 00 in2/24 hr, respectively. ASB-X has the poorer OTR, but a broader seal range than AXT.



3. Base film surface compatibility: The physical and chemical characteristics of the base film surface have a major effect on the OTR after metallization, and to a lesser degree, after coating. This is evidenced by Met PET's exceptional barrier, as well as the difference in OTRs between various metallized OPP products (refer to Table 10).

Product introduction The GTR-10H gas permeation analysis system consists of a differential pressure permeation device and a gas chromatograph. It can test and analyze the gas permeability of various single-component gases and mixed gases, and can accurately calculate the permeability, permeability coefficient and other parameters of each component gas. The test gas has a wide range of types and high accuracy, and is suitable for gas permeation testing in the fields of fuel cell proton exchange membrane gas permeability testing, hydrogen permeation of hydrogen storage materials, gas density of bipolar plate materials, and natural gas storage materials.   Test principle Place the processed sample between the high-pressure chamber and the low-pressure chamber, and the low-pressure chamber is connected to the gas chromatograph through a quantitative loop. At the set test temperature, use a vacuum pump to evacuate the gas system, and then add a certain pressure of test gas to the upper chamber to form a constant pressure difference between the upper and lower chambers. Under the action of the pressure gradient, the gas penetrates from the high-pressure chamber to the low-pressure chamber through the film. The system injects the gas that penetrates into the low-pressure chamber into the gas chromatography column and separates it into various components, and calculates the gas permeability, gas permeability coefficient and other barrier performance parameters of each component.   Standard GB/T 20042.3,GB/T 20042.6-2011,GB/T 1038.1-2022,ISO 15105-1   Specification Item Technical Parameters Test range 2.0×10-12~3.0×10-7 mol/(m2·s.Pa) Detection system Gas chromatography (GC), TCD detector Test gas Gases such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, etc., single component or mixed component Gas pressure 0~300kPa Permeation module temperature control range 15~60℃ Temperature control accuracy ±0.1℃ Permeation area 50.24 cm2 Sample size Φ110 mm Sample thickness ≤2 mm Sample quantity 1 piece Power supply AC 220 V,50 Hz   Features Advanced gas chromatography analysis technology The instrument is equipped with an advanced gas chromatography analysis module and a new microcomputer temperature control system, which can achieve 16-step program temperature rise with high temperature control accuracy; it adopts multi-processor parallel working mode, and can be equipped with a variety of high-performance detectors.
