Tests for Protection and Convenience of Candy Packaging

Candy packaging plays a vital role in both protecting the candy and influencing customer choices. Different candies require different packaging materials due to variations in moisture content.

For example, candies that lose moisture easily need packaging with good moisture barrier properties. To ensure quality, candy packages undergo various tests. Barrier property testing measures how well the packaging protects the candy from oxygen and moisture vapor. This test is done on both the packaging materials and the finished product.

C403H Oxygen /Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System is based on the testing principle of Coulometric oxygen sensor and infrared water vapor sensor. It conforms to ASTM D3985、ASTM F1249，ISO 15106-2 and other standards to provide high precision and efficiency oxygen and water vapor transmission rate tests for high gas barrier materials. It suits testing the oxygen and water vapor transmission performance of films, sheets and related materials in the fields of food, medicine, medical devices and many others.

Sealing performance testing identifies leaks in the packaging. This is important to prevent spoilage and maintain freshness. There are two main methods for this test: positive pressure and negative pressure. For candy packaging, the positive pressure method is more commonly used.

C660M Leak and Seal Strength Tester is professionally applicable to quantitative determination of seal strength, seal quality, burst pressure, seal integrity, compression resistance, torsion force and joint/disengaging force of various flexible packages, aseptic packages, plastic tamper-evident closures, flexible tubes, caps and other materials.

Pressure and burst resistance testing evaluates how well the packaging withstands pressure during storage and transportation. This helps to prevent damage and ensure the candy arrives at the consumer in good condition.

Open force testing measures how easy it is to open the candy package. A proper seal strength is necessary to avoid the package being too difficult to open or coming unsealed during storage.

C610H Auto Tensile Tester is professionally applicable to measurement of tensile, peeling, deformation, tearing, heat sealing, adhesive, puncture force, opening force, pulling force and low speed unwrapping force as well as other properties of plastic films, composite materials, soft package materials, plastic flexible tube, adhesives, adhesive tapes, label stickers, medical plasters, release paper, protective films, combined caps, aluminum foils, diaphragms, back sheets, non-woven fabrics, rubber and paper, etc.

Printing tests ensure that the candy packaging is attractive and safe for consumers. This includes testing for harmful substances in the ink and for the rub resistance of the printing to prevent damage during transport.

RT-01 Rub Tester is professionally designed for the abrasion resistance test of surface coating layers of printed materials, e.g. ink layer or photosensitive (PS) coating. This instrument could effectively analyze the problems of poor abrasion resistance, ink layer falling off and poor hardness of coating layers of printed materials.

C830H Migration & Non-volatile-matter Content Tester is applicable to determination of migration and non-volatile matter contents, which can be widely used for determination of migration of various packaging materials for food and their products, non-volatile contents of packaging materials for pharmaceuticals, total solids, water and fat of food, water and insoluble substances of pharmaceuticals and food additives. The instrument supports fast evaporation mode and efficient reagent recycling function so that water, trichloromethane, acetic acid, ethanol, n-hexane and other reagents can be used to improve the testing efficiency.

By performing these tests, candy manufacturers can ensure that their packaging protects the candy and provides a positive experience for consumers.

Moisture Resistance Testing of Thermal Conductive Silica Gel Pads

Thermal conductive silica gel pads, crucial components in electronic devices, require effective moisture resistance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This article delves into a comprehensive testing method for evaluating the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of these pads. Electronic components are sensitive to moisture, which can lead to corrosion, short circuits, and reduced reliability. Thermal conductive silica gel pads, often used to facilitate heat dissipation between electronic chips and radiators, play a vital role in preventing moisture ingress. Their moisture resistance properties directly impact the protection of sensitive internal components. The electrolytic sensor method, a widely recognized standard, is employed to measure the WVTR of thermal conductive silica gel pads. This technique involves creating a controlled environment with a high humidity chamber on one side and a low humidity chamber on the other. A sample of the thermal conductive silica gel pad ...

Quality Requirements of Lithium Ion Battery Separators

Business Challenge Lithium-ion batteries have one of the best energy-to-weight ratios, no memory effect, and a slow loss of charge when not in use. This makes them one of the most popular types of batteries for portable consumer electronics in today’s marketplace. Lithium-ion batteries can be found in cameras, laptops, power tools, toys and more. However, as recent well-publicized recalls demonstrate, they can pose a risk of fire and overheating. In addition, they can suffer from a reduced lifespan if not properly treated. As a result, new and stricter requirements are being implemented globally to address potential hazards, leaving manufacturers and purchasers of products containing lithium-ion batteries to meet increasing requirements and overcome safety concerns. Lithium Ion Battery Separators A Lithium Ion battery Separator is a permeable membrane placed between the anode and cathode of a battery. The main function of a separator is to keep the positive and negative electr...

Introducing Vacuum Decay Testing Method for Pharmaceutical Packaging Integrity

Maintaining the integrity of pharmaceutical packaging is fundamentally essential for safeguarding product efficacy and patient safety, and vacuum decay testing stands as a highly reliable non-destructive method for verifying this integrity. This technique, particularly effective for blister packs, vials, and pre-filled syringes, identifies leaks without compromising product sterility or efficacy. Vacuum decay testing leverages the principle that a sealed package, when subjected to a vacuum, will exhibit predictable pressure changes if it's leak-free. Conversely, a leaking package will show a different pressure profile. Specific Vacuum Decay Techniques: Differential Pressure Transducers: These precise sensors measure the difference in pressure between the vacuum chamber and a reference chamber. This allows for detection of very small leaks. Absolute Pressure Sensors: These sensors measure the absolute pressure within the vacuum chamber, providing data to determine the rate of pres...
