Oxygen & Water Vapour Permeation Rate Testing (OTR/WVTR)
We provide oxygen and water vapour transmission rate (OTR/WVTR) testing for both films and packages in accordance with ASTM D3985, F1927, F1307, and F1249 standards.
Our permeation testing services help you:
- Evaluate the permeability of films and barrier materials to ensure package integrity
- Verify performance when barrier materials or formulations change
- Qualify new materials or suppliers to confirm they meet your specifications
- Access fast, reliable testing when you don’t have in-house lab capabilities
Package Integrity
Ensuring your packages maintain strength and remain leak-free is critical for product safety, shelf life, and regulatory compliance. Our Package Integrity Testing services evaluate both the physical strength of seals and the presence of leaks to give you confidence in your packaging performance.
» Seal Strength
- Burst open/closed with restraining plates ASTM F2054
- Burst open/closed without restraining plates ASTM F2095
- Creep and Creep-to-Fail, according to ASTM F1140
» Leak Detection
- Pressure Decay ASTM F2096
- Bubble Method ASTM D3078, ASTM F2096
- CO2 Vacuum Chamber Emission Test
Oxygen and CO2 Analysis for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
Ensure optimal gas composition and barrier performance in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) with our precise oxygen and carbon dioxide analysis. These tests help maintain product quality, extend shelf life, and verify packaging integrity.
Applications
- Food & beverage packaging and films
- Aluminum foil and metalized PET films (PET-met)
- Laminated films
- Multilayer Films
- OLED and electronic devices
- Flexible and rigid packaging
- Medical device and pharmaceutical packaging/films
