Moisture Permeability Testing System for Ensuring Organosilicon Coating Quality

Organosilicon elastic coatings are increasingly popular in building construction due to their superior weather resistance and durability. However, their moisture barrier properties are crucial to their long-term performance. To ensure the quality and effectiveness of these coatings, it's essential to conduct rigorous moisture permeability testing.



Moisture permeability refers to the ability of a material to allow water vapor to pass through it. For organosilicon elastic coatings, this property is particularly important as it can affect their adhesion, durability, and overall performance. High moisture permeability can lead to issues such as blistering, delamination, and mold growth.

There are several methods to measure the moisture permeability of organosilicon elastic coatings. One commonly used method involves sealing a coated sample on a test chamber and exposing it to a controlled humidity environment. The rate at which water vapor passes through the coating is then measured.

The ISO7783-2 standard is a widely accepted method for assessing moisture permeability. It involves using a saturated ammonium dihydrogen phosphate solution to create a constant humidity difference between the inside and outside of the test chamber. This allows for accurate measurement of the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of the coating.




Labthink C360M water vapor transmission rate tester is a precision instrument designed to meet the requirements of the ISO7783-2 standard. It incorporates advanced features such as high-precision load cells, temperature and humidity control, and computer-based data acquisition. This ensures accurate and reliable measurements of moisture permeability.

Moisture permeability is a critical factor to consider when evaluating the performance of organosilicon elastic coatings. Labthink C360M water vapor transmission rate tester provides a reliable and efficient method for assessing this property. By adhering to the ISO7783-2 standard and utilizing this advanced instrument, manufacturers and users can ensure the quality and durability of their organosilicon coatings.

As the demand for functional packaging materials grows, testing methods are evolving to ensure a more comprehensive evaluation of packaging films. Labthink encourages collaboration with packaging industry companies for quality control! Visit the website www.labthink.com to learn more!

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...

Comparative Analysis of Aluminum-Coated VMPET and VMBOPP Oxygen Transmission Properties

Aluminum-coated films offer a cost-effective alternative to pure aluminum foil for packaging applications requiring good barrier properties. However, the effectiveness of these films can vary depending on the substrate material used. This study investigates the Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) of VMPET (vapor-deposited aluminum on PET) and VMBOPP (vapor-deposited aluminum on BOPP) to assess the influence of the substrate on barrier performance. The OTR test employed the coulometric method (equal pressure) following the standard ASTM D3985. This method utilizes a controlled environment chamber to measure the rate of oxygen permeation through the film sample. Labthink C230H Oxygen Transmission Rate Test System was used for this study. This instrument is designed and manufactured based on the coulometric sensor method (aka. equal pressure method) and conforms to ASTM D3985. This instrument can be used to measure the oxygen transmission rate of barrier materials with high and medium barrier ...

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...
