Solvents are integral to virtually every industry, from factories and laboratories to processing and development facilities. However, their tendency to evapourate and permeate through containers can lead to significant, sometimes critical, problems, especially when they condense on the other side. This issue is particularly pronounced for plastic, but even foils and solid metals are not impervious.
Versaperm’s state-of-the-art equipment offers a precise solution for measuring vapour permeability in a wide range of materials and product housings, including seals, gaskets, grommets, O-rings, and mastics. Our technology can test both flat material samples and actual components, even under the supercritical conditions commonly encountered in industrial processes.
Contrary to intuition, even seemingly impermeable materials like solid silicone can allow vapours to escape. Versaperm’s cutting-edge measurement equipment, equipped with specialised sensors and mass spectroscopy options, can detect and measure every separate element in a solvent’s vapour simultaneously.
Versaperm’s solutions cater to a vast array of applications, from aerospace and general manufacturing to engineering, food production, pharmaceuticals, medical products, and fashion. Versaperm’s latest equipment provides fast, precise, measurements, often within accuracies of parts per million (PPM) to parts per billion (PPB). The measurements are straightforward and computer-controlled, with the capability to test multiple samples, seals, enclosures, or products concurrently.
In addition to manufacturing these advanced instruments, Versaperm offers technical consultancy and a measurement/testing service for companies with infrequent testing needs. Our comprehensive services ensure that your materials and products meet the highest standards of solvent permeability, safeguarding against potential failures and ensuring reliability.
