Versaperm, a UK-based leader in vapour permeability testing, has announced a significant enhancement in its ability to measure the performance of semi-permeable membranes, a critical component across a range of industries including medical, packaging, construction and advanced textiles.

Semi-permeable membranes are designed to allow certain gases or vapours to pass through while blocking others. This selective permeability is vital in applications from fuel cells and breathable clothing to construction materials, water purification, packaging and pharmaceutical processing. However, accurately measuring the vapour transmission rates of these complex materials has long posed a challenge for manufacturers and researchers alike. Versaperm’s latest developments in testing technology now offer a more accurate, efficient and reliable solution.

The company’s equipment is capable of measuring the permeability of materials for virtually every gas and gas mixture, including water vapour, oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons. This is particularly important for semi-permeable membranes, where precise control and measurement of gas exchange is crucial to product performance and compliance to international standards.

Thanks to an advanced, automated system design, Versaperm’s instruments provide high-resolution results with minimal operator intervention. The system can test multiple samples simultaneously and handle a wide range of environmental conditions, offering both speed and accuracy. The technology can achieve sensitivity levels down to parts per million and beyond, depending on the material and test parameters.

Versaperm’s Managing Director, Chris Roberts, commented: “The ability to accurately assess the vapour permeability of semi-permeable membranes opens the door to improved product design and quality control. Our customers can now develop and verify materials that meet specific performance criteria, reducing waste, accelerating innovation and supporting regulatory compliance.”

With industries under increasing pressure to improve sustainability and performance, the need for precision in material characterisation is more important than ever. Versaperm’s advancements in vapour permeability testing offer manufacturers the confidence to innovate without compromise.
