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).
