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).

Heat Seal Tester GBB-A3 Lid Film Heat Sealer
Product Introduction The GBB-A3 Lid Film Heat Sealer can accurately determine heat seal performance parameters (including heat seal temperature, time, and pressure) for lid films used in food and pharmaceutical packaging, such as those for jelly cups, yogurt cups, coffee capsules, instant noodle buckets, meal boxes, and medical blister packs. Since heat seal performance varies across different materials, measuring these parameters allows for precise determination of optimal heat seal conditions. Testing Principle Install appropriate fixtures on the instrument’s lower pallet and place the sample on the fixture. Set the desired heat seal temperature, time, and pressure, then start the instrument with one click—the upper fixture will descend to seal the sample. In manual mode, pressing the foot switch once activates the sealing knife, and the heat seal duration is determined by the preset time. In automatic mode, the upper and lower sealing knives repeatedly perform heat sealing automatically according to the set time. Executive Standards QB/T 2358-1998, ASTM F 2029, YBB00122003-2015 Technical Parameters Item Specification Temperature Range Room temperature ~ 250℃ Temperature Control Precision ±1℃ Heat Seal Time 0.1s ~ 99.99h Heat Seal Pressure (0~1) MPa Operation Modes Automatic and manual Air Source Compressed air Dimensions 730(L) mm × 400(B) mm × 535(H) mm Weight 45 kg Power 1200 W Power Supply AC 220V, 50Hz   Product Features Pull-out Loading DesignThe lower pallet features a double-layer stacking structure, enabling pull-out loading that keeps operators away from the upper sealing knife, ensuring both convenience and safety. High-Precision Temperature SensorEquipped with a high-precision temperature sensor and PID algorithm for temperature control, achieving a precision of ±1℃, with ultra-high stability and extremely low failure rates. Flexible Testing OptionsFreely switch between manual and automatic testing. The automatic mode saves time with fully automated, repeatable heat sealing; the manual mode includes a compatible foot switch—pressing it once activates the sealing knife, ensuring safe and easy operation. Advanced Pneumatic Drive SystemComposed of a pressure gauge, pressure regulating valve, and cylinder, the system uses compressed air. Pressure is adjusted via the valve to precisely lock air pressure, enabling pneumatic-driven heat seal clamping for efficient operation. Extensive Customization Services Custom fixed fixtures can be made according to samples, and fixtures are interchangeable based on cup sizes. The sealing knife can be upgraded with anti-stick functionality for a better user experience, making it easier to determine optimal heat seal conditions. Customizations for the shape, size, and smoothness of the sealing surface are available to meet diverse research needs.
