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 Profile • The W416 2.0 Infrared Method Water Vapor Transmission Rate Tester is a high-end precision testing instrument for packaging materials, newly developed and upgraded by Guangzhou Standard International R&D Team in full compliance with the requirements of **GB/T 26253** and **ASTM F1249** standards as well as market demands. • Based on the testing principle of infrared moisture analysis sensors, it provides wide-range, high-efficiency water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) testing for high, medium and low barrier materials. • It is suitable for testing the water vapor transmission performance of films, sheets, papers, packages and other related materials in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, daily chemicals, photovoltaic electronics, etc. • It is an ideal offline or online configuration instrument for manufacturers in the packaging industry to test the barrier performance of packaging materials. Testing Principle The W416 2.0 Water Vapor Transmission Rate Tester adopts the infrared method principle: 1. Fix the pre-treated sample in the middle of the test chamber, dividing the chamber into a high-humidity chamber and a low-humidity chamber. 2. Compressed air flows through the high-humidity chamber, while dry nitrogen (carrier gas) flows through the low-humidity chamber at a constant flow rate. 3. Due to the humidity gradient, water vapor penetrates from the high-humidity chamber to the low-humidity chamber. 4. The water vapor passing through the sample is carried to the infrared sensor by the flowing dry nitrogen. 5. Parameters such as the sample’s water vapor transmission rate are derived from the electrical signal output by the sensor.
