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).

Headspace Gas Analyzer Headspace Gas Analyzer-GB-DK
Product Introduction The headspace gas analyzer adopts the destructive puncture detection method and is equipped with high-precision oxygen sensors and carbon dioxide sensors to accurately detect the O2 and CO2 content of hollow packaging containers such as packaging bags, bottles, cans, etc. The analysis of the content of the headspace gas in the packaging can make a reasonable judgment on the product quality, the validity of the shelf life prediction, and the rationality of the packaging design. At the same time, it can also be used as a means of packaging tightness testing. It is a better choice for modified atmosphere preservation (MAP, CAP) packaging, large infusion bottles (bags), residual oxygen in the headspace of prefilled needles, residual oxygen detection in vials, and the results of residual oxygen detection for various food and medicines. Nowadays, the headspace gas analyzer has become an important method to check the quality of packaging design and one of the important methods to verify the product shelf life. Our headspace gas analyzer GB-DK can quickly detect O2 in production lines, warehouses, laboratories and other occasions. And CO2 content to guide production.   Test principle The gas in the sample is drawn into the sensor by a vacuum pump. The sensor outputs the current and voltage signals of the O2 and CO2 (optional) concentration in the gas in the sample in real time.

W203 2.0 Water Vapor Transmission Rate Tester Electrolytic Method | High Barrier Materials WVTR Testing Product Introduction W203 2.0 is developed based on the electrolytic test principle, designed and manufactured in accordance with GB/T 21529, ISO 15106-3 and other international standards. It tests water vapor transmission rate of samples under controlled temperature and humidity, widely used for high barrier materials in LCD, solar cells, chip packaging, pharmaceuticals, food and more. Get a Free Quote Today   Test Principle W203 2.0 adopts the electrolytic method. The pre-treated sample is fixed in the test chamber, separating it into wet and dry sides. Humidified nitrogen flows on one side of the film, while dry nitrogen (carrier gas) flows on the other side at a fixed rate. Due to humidity gradient, water vapor permeates from the wet side to the dry side, carried by dry nitrogen to the electrolytic sensor. The WVTR value is calculated from the electrical signal output by the sensor.   Compliant Standards 2025 Chinese Pharmacopoeia 4010 GB/T 21529-2008 ISO 15106-3 DIN 53122-2 YBB 00092003-2015 ASTM F3299 JIS K7129-3   Technical Specifications Item Value Test Range 0.001~40 g/(m²·24h) (Film & Sheet) Resolution 0.0001 g/(m²·24h) Temperature Range 15 ~ 45℃ Temperature Accuracy ±0.1℃ Humidity Range 5 ~ 90%RH Humidity Accuracy ±1%RH Test Area 50.24 cm² Sample Size Φ100 mm Test Chambers 3 channels (independent data)   Key Features High-sensitivity sensor for ultra-high barrier materials in electronics, photovoltaics, displays.
