Basically, increasing the thickness of film materials is one of the important measures to improve the barrier properties of packages. Meanwhile, the increase of materials thickness is bound to increase packaging costs. This article studied the influence of increasing the thickness of single layer membrane in composite materials on the barrier properties of packages, through test the oxygen permeation of film materials with different thickness.

The moisture permeability of sanitary towel substrate material influences its comfort directly. This article introduces a WVTR test of two sanitary towel substrate films from two manufacturers using cup method, including test principle, testing instrument C360M Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System and its features Continue reading
Common aluminum-coated substrates include PET, BOPP, CPP, etc. After coated with vapor deposition of aluminum, aluminum-coated films such as VMPET, VMBOPP, and VMCPP are formed. The barrier properties of aluminized films may vary with different manufacturers, evaporation processes and even different batches. The differences are in thickness, density of the aluminized layer, and the COF between the aluminum layer and the substrate. This article introduces a study on whether the substrate of an aluminum-coated film will affect its barrier properties. Continue reading
Pudding cups need to have effective oxygen barrier properties to guarantee the quality of its shelf life. This article introduces an oxygen transmission rate test method to test the pudding cup, i.e. the coulometric method. The test principle, instrument features, specifications, and testing procedures are all included in this article, which may provide reference for oxygen permeability test of packaging containers.

Edible oil is a necessity in daily life, to which frequent food safety problems have occurred in recent years. As a special "additive" for food, packaging has a more or less impact on food safety. This article describes the impact of packaging on the safety of edible oils and how to solve those safety problems and promote the safety of edible oil. Continue reading
