Are plastics & rubber leaks a barrier to success?

Thanks to Versaperm, measuring this effect (called permeability) is now easy, not just with respect to water vapour, but also for hydrocarbons, oxygen, nitrogen, CO₂ and most other gases or vapours. 

Versaperm’s permeability meter is not only one of the most technically advanced in the world, but is fast and easy to use, with accuracies typically in the parts per million range, (parts per billion with some gases).  The system is ideal for use on most plastics or rubber materials, containers, films coatings and components.

Understanding these properties of plastics, compounds, films and laminates can reduce several widespread problems - from drugs that lose potency to photocopiers that jam and food that goes stale.  It also allows companies to design packaging that actively extends the shelf life of degradable products.   

As well as manufacturing the instruments, Versaperm offers a permeability laboratory service for companies that need to test samples on an irregular basis.
