All things and materials leak
Pressure and temperature can make it worse

Vapour permeability profoundly influences the reliability and functionality of products across diverse industries. Changes in temperature and pressure exacerbate these effects, allowing water vapour and other gases to permeate through all materials at varying rates - a critical factor known as vapour permeability. Versaperm's advanced equipment precisely measures this permeability, empowering companies to develop effective solutions.

Seals, valves, gaskets, and products inevitably leak through the materials they are made from.  This has led to critical failures such as missile malfunctions, loss of drug potency, food spoilage, and equipment breakdowns, including electronics such as mobiles and PCs.

Addressing these challenges demands the use of advanced materials with low permeability, precise measurement tools for assessing seals and vapour barriers, and rigorous quality control processes. Versaperm's cutting-edge technology and services provide essential solutions to measure and manage vapour permeability, helping industries mitigate risks and ensure product reliability and consumer satisfaction.

Temperature and pressure profoundly influence the performance of seals, whether they are O-rings, adhesives, mastics, joints, or enclosures. These factors affect nearly every product and piece of equipment globally. Most seals are designed to withstand water vapour, hydrocarbons, CO2, and other contaminants, yet they are significantly impacted by fluctuations in environmental and operational conditions.

Versaperm's vapour permeability systems accurately evaluate the effectiveness of materials and seals across an extensive range of temperatures (-80 to 1100°C) and pressures (0-300 bar), accommodating virtually every common vapour*. This capability empowers designers and manufacturers to identify and rectify sealing issues under standard and non-standard conditions alike.

The Versaperm equipment delivers precise results in the Parts per Million (PPM) to Parts per Billion (PPB) ranges. It offers the flexibility to measure multiple samples, seals, enclosures, or products simultaneously, with automated controls that simplify operation and can simulate diurnal, seasonal, and operational cycles.

In addition to its advanced equipment, Versaperm provides consultancy and laboratory services, offering expert advice on permeability challenges in complex scenarios or where dedicated instrumentation isn't feasible.
