About Versaperm

Versaperm manufactures gas permeability testing equipment, offers a comprehensive permeability testing service and a materials consultancy. These are used to measure gas permeability and leakage, important in medical and pharmaceutical packaging, foils and films, coatings, food and confectionery packaging and contents, and many other applications.

Instruments

Versaperm designs and manufactures instruments to meet each customer’s needs. Instruments are typically be based on a modular MkVI design.

Testing Service


Our laboratory testing service has over 30 years experience to enable us to choose the best technique to measure your sample's permeability both quickly and accurately.

 

Sensors

Our diverse and growing range of sensors are based on fundamentally different and divergent physical principals. The choice of the right sensor for an application is critical in the successful deployment of the equipment. We are not tied to a sensor manufacturer.

Gases / Vapours

At Versaperm we can measure the permeability for almost any gas / vapour including water vapour, Oxygen, CO2 Hydrogen, Helium, Nitrogen and Hydrocarbons.

Applications

Consultancy

Our Consultancy division combines our theoretical and practical Permeability skills in instrument design and manufacture. Permeability Consultancy

Paper Permeability

Paper Permeability



Water vapour permeability is the most important characteristic of any paper, every paper's permeability must be right for its purpose. The paper for packaging cheese requires a very different permeability from the paper permeability of a paper that you don't want to jam up a printer. The vapour permeability required depends entirely on the use of the paper. The Versaperm MK VI water vapour permeability meter is ideal for measuring all paper types.

A Paper's permeability is the measure of how strongly it can resist the passage of a gas - usually water vapour but it could be an other gas such as Oxygen, CO2, Nitrogen or even a hydrocarbon.  Vapour permeability dramatically affects the physical characteristics of paper including strength, printability, durability and paper handling (so that it doesn't jam in a machine)
