PACKAGING MATERIALS
1.Leak testing is the measurement of the amount of
media leaking through material over time.
2.Residue on Ignition Test is designed to measure
the weight of the residual substance when sulfuric
acid is added to the sample and then ignited.
3.Water vapor transmission is a measure of how
much water vapor will pass through a material per
unit area per unit time.
