Moisture Vapor Transmission Analyzer

The MVTA-50 equipment utilizes Gravimetric Analysis following the ASTM E96 upright cup method to measure the Water Vapor Transmission Rate of materials. The MVTA is determined by evaluating the gain in water vapor mass across the specimen over time. From this MVTA value, permeance and permeability are calculated. To compute the water vapor mass gained across the specimen, the change in relative humidity in the top cell is measured. The data points, representing the water vapor mass gained over time, are recorded and plotted.

ASTM E96

Gas Permeability Analyzer

The GP-100 device is used to determine the Permeability of porous media. The steady state flow of gas such as Air / Nitrogen is measured using an accurate mass flow meter in relation to time and pressure differential. Gas Permeability can be calculated in Darcy, Frazier or Gurley units. GP - 100 is user - friendly, features non-destructive testing that is perfect for both R&D and QA / QC purposes."

ASTM D737-18

APPLICATIONS

Skin Packaging

The master sheet of the Skin Board is placed in a Skin Packaging Machine. In the Skin Packaging Machine, heated skin film drapes over the master sheet. A vacuum is drawn, tightly contouring around the product, and heat-sealing to the backer card.

Banana Leaf Packaging

Banana Leaf is relatively cheap, ubiquitous, and biodegradable. Banana Leaf is also known to be used as a natural packaging with antioxidant, antibacterial, and organoleptically pleasing packaging which is why it is one of the most used Leaf Packaging.

Blister Packaging

Blister Packaging, or Blister Packs, are pre-formed packaging materials composed of a thermoformed plastic cavity and apliable lid. In this type of packaging, the product is placed in deep-drawn pockets or cavities resembling a Blister.

Controlling the barrier properties of Food Packaging Films

In essence, controlling the barrier properties of film for Food Packaging is integral to preserving product quality, safety, and consumer satisfaction while meeting regulatory requirements and environmental considerations. Preservation of Nutritional Value, Maintaining the right barrier properties helps prevent nutrient loss due to oxidation.

Packaging Films for controlled Water Vapour Transmission Rate

Controlled Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) is crucial for various products, especially those sensitive to moisture. To achieve controlled WVTR, specialized packaging materials are used. Here are some common packaging materials that provide controlled WVTR are Metallized Films and Foil Laminates.

Biodegradable Packaging

Biodegradable Packaging Materials are eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics and packaging options. They are designed to naturally break down into harmless substances when exposed to the environment, reducing environmental pollution and waste. These materials are sourced from renewable resources and offer several advantages.

Protective Packaging

Protective Packaging Products are designed and constructed to protect the goods from atmospheric, magnetic, electrostatic, vibration or shock damage. Products include types of boxes or storage containers, packing materials, liners, and spacers.

Pacakaging Materials

Paperboard is a thick paper-based material. While there is no rigid differentiation between paper and paperboard, paperboard is generally thicker than paper and has certain superior attributes such as foldability and rigidity. A raw material, also known as a feedstock, unprocessed material, or primary commodity, is a basic material that is used to produce goods.

Sustainable Packaging

According to the definition, sustainable or eco-friendly packaging is the packaging that poses no harm to the individuals or their environment throughout its life cycle, is entirely made of recycled and renewable material, meets the market's performance and cost criteria, and once deteriorated, can be recycled.
