Versaperm’s permeability measurement equipment enables testing and development of a container’s design and determining the effect of both the manufacturing techniques and the materials used.
Blow moulding, for example, can decrease packaging’s effectiveness by a factor of four. This makes a dramatic difference and governs whether aromatic volatiles and moisturisers are retained and also how moisture and oxygen are barred to preserve the cosmetic’s critically delicate and important unsaturated lipid bonds, which can turn rancid and produce unpleasant odours.
Testing and optimising can make a real difference to a product’s quality, fragrance and shelf life.
Versaperm’s system can measure the vapour permeability of materials, samples, tubes, vials, thermoformed pots, bottles, sachets, foils, laminates, films and other barriers to a typical accuracy in the PPM range – with Parts Per Billion for some gasses and materials.
Vapour permeability helps to prevent product quality problems, loss of fragrance and even the growth of off odours. Versaperm’s equipment can measure the permeability of both the material the packaging is made from and the productfilled container itself.
