Advanced Packaging Test

In the cosmetic industry, product integrity is just as crucial as in pharmaceuticals. Ensuring the safety and freshness of cosmetics is paramount to prevent product contamination and maintain consumer trust. Traditional destructive testing methods can lead to product wastage and delay time-to-market. Non-destructive package leak detection offers a more efficient and effective solution. Vacuum decay and pressure decay are two common methods used in non-destructive package leak detection for cosmetics. In vacuum decay, the package is placed under a vacuum. Leaks will allow air to enter, increasing the pressure. Conversely, in pressure decay, the pressure within a sealed package is measured. A leak will cause the pressure to drop more rapidly. Non-destructive leak detection is particularly beneficial for cosmetic packaging, which often includes delicate glass bottles, plastic tubes, and pouches. By avoiding destructive testing, non-destructive leak detection prevents product wastage, ens...

Rubber, a versatile material widely used in various industries, is susceptible to degradation over time due to factors like exposure to light, heat, and chemicals. This process, known as aging, can affect the material's physical and mechanical properties, including its gas barrier performance. This study aimed to investigate the impact of aging on the gas permeability of rubber, specifically nitrogen, using the VAC-V2 Differential Pressure Gas Permeability Tester. A brand of tire rubber was selected as the test sample. The nitrogen permeability of both non-aged and aged samples was measured using the Labthink VAC-V2 tester, which operates based on the differential pressure method. This involves clamping the sample between two chambers, filling one with nitrogen and creating a vacuum in the other. The rate at which nitrogen diffuses through the sample is measured, providing an indication of its gas permeability. The results showed that the nitrogen permeability of the aged rubber s...

As the standardization of pharmaceutical packaging inspection, many domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers and pharmaceutical packaging material enterprises have an increasing need for quality control instruments, as a quality inspection institution, they also introduce packaging testing instruments to meet the needs of drug packaging inspection. In the pharmaceutical packaging industry, the prominent factors that cause unqualified pharmaceutical packaging are poor physical mechanical properties and the poor barrier properties. To solve this problem, it is imperative to control the quality of pharmaceutical packaging and packaging materials. After communicating with pharmaceutical manufacturers and surveying the national standards for pharmaceutical packaging, the author summarized the quality control testing instruments for aluminum foil and plastic packaging materials that are used for most pharmaceutical productions and made a comparative scheme. Product Test it...

Condom packaging integrity is a critical factor in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of condoms. Leaks in the packaging can lead to lubricant loss, reducing the effectiveness of the product. To guarantee the quality of condom packaging, manufacturers employ various testing methods, including nondestructive testing techniques. Condom packaging typically consists of a foil pouch or a cardboard box with a plastic liner. The packaging serves as a barrier between the condom and the external environment, protecting it from damage and contamination. It also provides information about the product, such as size, brand, and expiration date. Nondestructive packaging leak testing involves detecting leaks in the packaging without damaging the product itself. This test offers several benefits, including Accuracy: The methods used are highly accurate in detecting leaks, even small ones. Efficiency: Testing can be performed quickly and efficiently, allowing for high-throughput testing. Non-destruc...

In the pharmaceutical industry, where product integrity is paramount, ensuring the safety and efficacy of medications is of utmost importance. Traditional destructive testing methods can lead to product wastage and delay time-to-market. This is where non-destructive package leak detection shines. Vacuum decay and pressure decay are two common methods used in non-destructive package leak detection. In vacuum decay, the package is placed under a vacuum. Leaks will allow air to enter, increasing the pressure. Conversely, in pressure decay, the pressure within a sealed package is measured. A leak will cause the pressure to drop more rapidly. Non-destructive leak detection is beneficial for pharmaceutical packaging. By avoiding destructive testing, non-destructive leak detection prevents product wastage, ensuring that valuable medications are not lost. The testing process is significantly faster, reducing turnaround time and accelerating product release. These methods provide reliable and a...

The barrier properties of films, such as their ability to resist the permeation of gases like oxygen and water vapor, are crucial for the packaging of a wide range of products, including food, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. These properties are influenced by various factors, among which the thickness of the film plays a significant role. This study explores the relationship between film thickness and barrier performance, focusing on oxygen and water vapor transmission rates. Understanding the barrier properties of films is essential. Higher oxygen and water vapor barrier properties can extend the shelf life of products by preventing oxidation, moisture loss, and contamination. Barrier films help maintain the quality and integrity of products during storage and transportation. Knowledge of barrier properties aids in the selection of appropriate packaging materials for specific products and applications. Many industries have regulations regarding the barrier properties of packaging ma...

Leather is widely used in clothing, footwear, foot pads, seat pads, sofas, and other products. Its permeability significantly affects the comfort of these products, especially those in direct contact with the human body, such as leather clothing and footwear. If leather has poor permeability, it cannot effectively dissipate the sweat and heat generated by the human body, leading to a damp and hot feeling during wear, resulting in a negative wearing experience for consumers. The collagen fiber gaps in leather serve as channels for gas and energy exchange between the inside and outside of the leather. Processes such as acid-base treatment, softening, texturing, greasing, tanning, and finishing during leather production can affect the uniformity, size, and quantity of these collagen fiber gaps. Therefore, testing permeability can provide data for adjusting and improving leather production processes, ultimately enhancing the quality of leather products. The standard test method for measur...
