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).

medical sterilized boiler Vertical Counter‑Pressure Retort LS‑35L/50L/75L/100L | Dual‑Mode Sterilization for Food Packaging Aseptic Testing
Vertical Counter‑Pressure Retort LS‑35L/50L/75L/100L | Dual‑Mode Sterilization for Food Packaging Aseptic Testing LS‑series Vertical Counter‑Pressure Retort for Food Packaging Sterilization & Laboratory Aseptic Validation Product Introduction Reliable dual‑mode counter‑pressure sterilizer tailored for food packaging quality control & lab aseptic evaluation. The vertical counter‑pressure retort is a medium‑small‑size mechanically program‑controlled counter‑pressure sterilization equipment. The sterilizer adopts electric heating mode. Water is directly injected into the sterilizing chamber and heated to generate high‑pressure steam required for sterilization to disinfect articles. After sterilization is completed, external compressed air and water pressure are applied for rapid cooling within 3 minutes, cooling internal articles down to 30‑40℃. Equipped with program control, it supports two operation modes: boiling disinfection and pressure sterilization with rapid cooling. Boiling temperature can be set ≤100℃. The rapid‑cooling pressure sterilization temperature is pre‑selectable within 101℃‑135℃. It is integrated with heater overload protection and buzzer alarm upon sterilization completion. Featuring simple operation and high safety reliability. This unit is suitable for disinfection and sterilization of food packaging, utensils and instruments. It is an ideal device especially for aseptic tests in food research institutions. Working Principle Dual‑sterilization logic enables boiling disinfection & high‑pressure counter‑pressure sterilization, simulating real‑world thermal processing conditions for flexible packaging samples. This equipment is designed with two disinfection & sterilization principles to deliver dual‑function performance for customers. The heater directly heats water to produce pressurized steam. The pressurized steam acts on microorganisms on samples and destroys their structures to realize sterilization. When rapid‑cooling sterilization program starts, 6 liters of tap water is first injected into the chamber. After around 25‑minute heating process, it enters sterilization holding stage with sterilization duration of 35‑40 minutes. When sterilization finishes, 0.24 MPa compressed air and tap‑water pressure are manually fed into the chamber, then half‑open the drain valve to discharge water and implement counter‑pressure cooling for flexible packages and other specimens. Rapid cooling lasts for 3 minutes. Manually cut‑off compressed air and tap‑water supply, and internal articles can be cooled down to 30‑40℃. Core Advantages Dual‑mode operation: boiling disinfection & counter‑pressure pressure sterilization Ultra‑fast 3‑minute counter‑pressure cooling to avoid flexible pouch deformation Heater overload protection & buzzer alarm when sterilization cycle completes Multiple chamber volume options:35L‑50L‑75L‑100L for different test throughput Mechanical program control, easy operation for laboratory staff Technical Parameters Item Specifications Max Working Pressure 0.22 MPa (30 Psi) Max Working Temperature 135℃ Sterilization Temperature Selection 101‑135℃ Boiling Temperature Selection ≤100℃ Timer Range 1‑60 min Effective Chamber Volume 35L, 50L, 75L, 100L Power / Power Supply 2.5 KW / AC220V, 50Hz; 3 KW / AC220V, 50Hz; 4.5 KW / AC220V, 50Hz Overall Dimension 570×550×970 mm(35L);590×590×1110 mm(50L);650×630×1150 mm(75L);680×650×1220 mm(100L) Gross / Net Weight 56/42 kg(35L); 68/50 kg(50L); 90/70 kg(75L); 105/85 kg(100L) Application Scenarios Widely adopted in food R&D laboratories, packaging manufacturers and quality inspection institutes for sterilization and thermal‑resistance assessment of flexible food packaging materials.
