Vapour permeability is a key factor in quality control across a broad spectrum of industries, influencing everything from food shelf life to the longevity of semiconductors. It governs the release rate of pharmaceuticals, affects the quality of printed materials and ensures that products remain safe, durable and free from contamination. Proper management of vapour permeability is essential for maintaining product performance, preventing degradation and ensuring consistent results.

Versaperm’s latest high-speed vapour permeability testing equipment is transforming the field of quality control. By delivering highly accurate results within 30 minutes to 24 hours - compared to the weeks required by conventional testing methods - Versaperm’s system accelerates both new product development and ongoing quality assurance processes.

The equipment provides results with precision in the Parts Per Million (PPM) to Parts Per Billion (PPB) range, depending on the material and vapour being tested. Moreover, Versaperm systems can simulate various environmental conditions, such as temperature and pressure fluctuations, allowing for tests that reflect real-world diurnal and seasonal cycles.

A standout innovation is the Versaperm MS (Mass Spectrometer), a game-changing tool that measures vapour permeability for water vapour, oxygen and any combination of gases, all in a single, streamlined process. This advanced system can also control environmental variables with precision. For industries like food and confectionery, the multi-chamber option allows for simultaneous testing of multiple products, significantly boosting testing efficiency and throughput.

Vapour permeability testing is critical across a wide range of industries, including food and beverage packaging, pharmaceuticals, construction, textiles and electronics. Accurate management of vapour permeability ensures products meet rigorous regulatory standards, perform as designed and maintain long-term product durability and safety

To further support industries with specialized needs, Versaperm offers technical consultancy and comprehensive permeability testing services. This provides companies that require periodic testing the ability to access cutting-edge measurement solutions without the need to invest in dedicated equipment.
