ISO 15105-1 Gas Permeability of Plastic Films
The ISO 15105-1 standard is an internationally recognized protocol used to determine the gas permeability of plastic films. This test is essential for ensuring that packaging materials maintain their integrity and effectiveness, especially in environments where gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor can affect product quality.
Gas permeability testing plays a crucial role in the development of long-lasting packaging solutions across various industries, including food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and consumer goods. By accurately measuring how gases pass through plastic films, manufacturers can optimize their packaging to extend shelf life, maintain freshness, or prevent contamination.
The test is particularly important for barrier materials used in high-barrier packaging applications such as vacuum-sealed containers or those intended for long-term storage. It ensures that the packaging remains effective over time and under various environmental conditions, thereby protecting the integrity of the product within.

Our state-of-the-art facilities allow us to simulate real-world storage and transportation conditions, providing accurate results that are essential for compliance with international regulations and industry best practices.
Our team of experts will guide you through every step of the process, from specimen preparation to final report generation. We ensure that all samples are handled with care and precision, using only the highest-quality materials and instruments available.
Scope and Methodology
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Test Specimen | Prepared plastic films of uniform thickness and dimensions. |
| Environmental Conditions | Controlled temperature, humidity, and gas composition. |
| Test Duration | Standard test duration of 7 days or as per customer requirements. |
| Data Collection | Continuous monitoring using mass loss measurement techniques. |
The testing process begins with the preparation of plastic films according to ISO 15105-1 guidelines. These films are then placed into a controlled environment where temperature, humidity, and gas composition can be precisely adjusted. Over the course of several days, continuous mass loss measurements are taken using specialized equipment.
The results obtained from these tests provide critical insights into the performance characteristics of the plastic film under various conditions. This information is invaluable for quality control teams, R&D departments, and procurement officers who need to ensure that their packaging meets strict regulatory standards and performs optimally in real-world scenarios.
