The extensive package testing capability at EMSL includes a broad variety of types, substrates and components—flexible structures, rigid bottles, foil seals, pouches, aseptic boxes, trays, etc.
The testing involves barrier testing for water vapor transmission (WVTR) and oxygen transmission (OTR) (covering ASTM E94, ASTM E398, ASTM F1249, ASTM D6701, ASTM D3985, ASTM F1307, ASTM F2266, ASTM F1927).
This type of testing is important for finished packaging of food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, raw materials and it provides a good insight on the package behavior during transport and shelf life of a product.
