Test Principle

Under a certain test temperature, a constant humidity difference is generated between two sides of the test specimen. The water vapor permeates through the specimen and into the dry side. By measuring the weight changes of the test dish in different time, water vapor transmission rate and other parameters can be obtained.

Applications

Basic Applications	Films	Plastic films, plastic composite films, paper-plastic composite films, geomembranes, coextruded films, aluminized films, aluminum foils, aluminum foil composite films and many other film materials
	Sheeting	Engineering plastics, rubber, waterproof building materials and thermal insulation materials, e.g. PP, PVC, PVDC and nylon
	Textiles and Nonwovens	Textiles and non-woven materials
	Paper and Paper Board	Paper and paper board
Extended Applications	Inverted Cup Method	Mount film or sheeting in test dish, cover upper surface of specimen with distilled water, and make the lower side in certain humidity. Generate a constant humidity difference between two sides; water vapor permeates through specimen and measure weight changes in different time to obtain the water vapor transmission rate.NOTE: inverted cups are required
	Artificial skin	Artificial skin needs a certain degree of water permeability to ensure good breathing performance after implantation in humans or animals. This system can be used to test the moisture permeability of artificial skin
	cosmetic	moisturizing properties of cosmetics (such as facial masks, wound dressings)
	Medical supplies and accessories	medical supplies and auxiliary materials, such as water vapor transmission rate test of plasters, sterile wound care masks, beauty masks, scar stickers, etc.
	Solar Back-sheets	solar back-sheets and OLED packaging materials
	LCD Monitor Films	LCD monitor films
	Paint Film	Water resistance test of various paint films
	Biodegradable film	Water resistance test of various biodegradable films, such as starch-based packaging films, etc.
