(WVTR is the steady state rate at which water vapour permeates through a film at specified conditions of temperature and relative humidity.)
The new WVTR testing capability will save time and associated costs for food, pharma, beverage, medical device, electronics companies, as well as manufacturers of construction products whose objective is to select and qualify optimum barrier materials.
The Permatran-W Model 3/34 G is also ideal for converters and resin producers who want to test film materials as well as finished packages.
In automatic mode, The Permatran-W Model 3/34 allows the operator to simply mount a test film, set the temperature/relative humidity conditions and begin the test. This is made possible by Mocon’s new TotalCal capability, which improves accuracy and eliminates significant setup time. TotalCal also reduces time and improves accuracy in the ‘advanced testing mode’, where operators set all testing parameters
“Most dry products are susceptible to moisture ingress,” said vice president Doug Lindemann. “Conversely, most wet products are susceptible to the loss of water content. Mocon developed this first-ever, automatic instrument to give food, pharma and related companies a way to determine a structure’s WVTR faster and more cost-effectively than ever before. This valuable information will lead users to select and qualify materials that will provide the desired barrier and shelf-life attributes for their products.”
