Permeability is often the most critial factor in a material or component's performance. It determines how drugs to loose potency, food goes off, how paper both prints and jams in equipment, how seals work and it can even cause electronics to fail.

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