To develop and quality control the processes and materials used in these products, Versaperm's latest single and multi-chamber instruments are designed to measure permeability with respect to virtually any vapour, including water vapour – which is by far the world's most common contaminant.

The equipment can characterise the permeability of a wide range of products including unitary dose "blister" capsules, sachets, syringes, inhalers, and wound dressing packaging etc.  It can produce results quickly and has a typical accuracy to a few parts per million (ppm) or better. 

The equipment can determine the vapour permeability of almost any material against any gas/vapour and, unlike conventional gravimetric measurements, which take days or even weeks, it can produce results in as little as 30 minutes for some materials.  This speeds the never-ending quest for effective packaging with new marketing and technical features. 

For companies who test too few samples to make the purchase of equipment viable, Versaperm offers a fast turnaround laboratory testing service.

NOTE:  Products with an alcoholic or aromatic base, including healthcare and cosmetic products, are also prone to this same effect, with the top-notes of fragrances decaying particularly rapidly as volatile compounds permeate away.
