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).

Vertical Heat Seal Tester Vertical Heat Seal Tester GBB-C
Product Introduction GBB-C vertical heat seal tester can accurately measure the heat sealing temperature, heat sealing time, heat sealing pressure, and other heat sealing performance parameters of plastic packaging vertical bags, paper-plastic composite vertical bags and metal composite vertical bags(boxes). The heat sealing performance of samples of different materials are different. And the best heat sealing conditions can be accurately obtained through the determination of their heat sealing performance parameters.   Testing Principle Put the sample on the lower tray of the instrument, adjust the appropriate height according to the size of the sample, set a certain sealing temperature, time and pressure as required, and start the instrument with one key. The fixture on the instrument will heat seal the sample according to the setting parameters. Under the manual state, step on the foot switch, and the heat sealing knife is pressed. The heat sealing time is determined by the value set by the time control. In the automatic state, the upper and lower heat sealing knives of the heat sealer will automatically heat seal repeatedly according to the set time.
