Systech Instruments (www.systechinstruments.com), a leading manufacturer of package, flexible film and bottle permeation test equipment, has introduced a testing service for companies that cannot justify the purchase of the necessary equipment. The Systech permeation laboratory provides cost-effective measurement of oxygen permeation in films, bottles and finished packaging. In addition to expert and experienced staff, the laboratory has an extensive back-catalogue of test results that can be used as benchmarks for new material testing. The laboratory is fully compliant with all major standards, including ASTM 3985, (North & South America), JIS K-7126 (Japan) and DIN 53380 (Europe), relevant to the packaging materials industries. The temperature and humidity controlled laboratory is able to carry out tests under a wide range of conditions. All tests results are supported by a comprehensive report containing test data in both tabular and graphical format as appropriate. In addition to one-off testing, the Systech laboratory is able to provide a service for companies with their own test equipment for both routine result comparison tests and to absorb productivity limiting overloads.
