Evaluating moisture and oxygen barrier properties of blister packs, bottles, and medical device packaging for product stability
Assessing protective properties of packaging materials against moisture and environmental contaminants for sensitive components
Testing durability, barrier performance, and seal integrity of retail packaging solutions
Analyzing performance characteristics of biodegradable, recyclable, and eco-friendly packaging alternatives
Quality control testing for multi-layer films, laminates, and flexible packaging materials during production
Developing and validating new packaging materials with improved barrier properties and sustainability profiles
Water vapor permeability testing measures the transmission rate of water molecules through packaging material (WVTR), while oxygen permeability testing measures the oxygen transmission rate (OTR). Different packaging applications have specific requirements for each property – for example, dry food products prioritize moisture barriers, while products sensitive to oxidation require excellent oxygen barriers. LabroTek offers specialized analyzers for both properties, as well as combination systems for comprehensive testing.
GBPI analyzers utilize advanced sensor technology and precise environmental controls to deliver more accurate and repeatable results compared to traditional gravimetric or manual methods. Our equipment offers higher sensitivity, faster testing cycles, automated operation, and comprehensive data management systems, making them ideal for both quality control and research applications.
Our equipment is designed to meet numerous international standards including ASTM F1249, ASTM D3985, ISO 15106, ISO 2556, GB/T 1038, JIS K7129, and many others specific to different packaging materials and industries. LabroTek can help identify the appropriate testing equipment to meet your specific regulatory or industry standard requirements.
Standard test chambers typically accommodate flat film samples of 50cm² to 100cm², while specialized equipment is available for testing formed containers, bottles, and irregularly shaped packages. Custom testing solutions can be developed for unique sample requirements. LabroTek’s technical experts can help determine the most appropriate system for your specific sample types.
Test duration varies based on the material being tested and the specific properties being measured. High-barrier materials may require 1-3 days for accurate results, while low-barrier materials can often be tested in a few hours. GBPI equipment includes prediction algorithms that can estimate final values based on initial data patterns, helping to reduce overall testing time for routine quality control.
Regular maintenance typically includes sensor calibration, replacement of seals and gaskets, cleaning of test chambers, and software updates. LabroTek provides comprehensive service plans including preventative maintenance, calibration services, and technical support to ensure optimal equipment performance and measurement accuracy throughout the system’s lifecycle.
Yes, our permeability analyzers are designed to test complex multi-layer packaging structures including laminates, co-extrusions, and coated materials. The equipment measures the overall barrier performance of the complete structure, which is essential for evaluating finished packaging materials. Additional specialized equipment is available for analyzing individual layers or components when needed for R&D purposes.
Temperature and relative humidity significantly influence permeability properties of packaging materials. GBPI equipment includes precise environmental controls to maintain consistent test conditions and can also perform testing across different temperature and humidity settings to evaluate packaging performance under various storage and distribution scenarios.
Yes, LabroTek offers flexible rental and leasing options for GBPI testing equipment. These solutions are ideal for short-term projects, seasonal testing needs, or evaluating equipment before purchase. Our rental equipment comes fully calibrated and includes technical support to ensure successful implementation.
LabroTek provides comprehensive training packages including equipment operation, test method development, data interpretation, and troubleshooting. Training can be conducted on-site during installation or at scheduled sessions.
