Question 1

What packaging materials can M19 instruments test?

Accepted Answer

Flexible films, laminated barrier structures, blister, and lidding films, pouch, and sachet materials, biodegradable films and coated/metallised films.

Question 2

Which barrier standards are supported?

Accepted Answer

ASTM E96 for water-vapor transmission (WVTR), ASTM D737-18 for gas permeability, and ASTM D1434 for diffusional / gas transmission — listed per product.

Question 3

How is WVTR measured?

Accepted Answer

The gravimetric upright-cup method records vapor-mass gain across the specimen over time under controlled humidity, computing WVTR, permeance, and permeability.

Question 4

Can data support shelf-life studies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Barrier data feeds directly into shelf-life prediction, film development and lot acceptance, with secure records and PDF/CSV export.

Question 5

Is local support available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Domestic manufacturing gives faster service, ready spares, lower cost and a 2-year extended warranty.
