Description

TotalPerm is the first and only instrument on the market with patented technology capable of measuring barrier properties against three different gases. Equipped with sensors for oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, TotalPerm eliminates the need to move samples, allowing for characterization of barrier properties against all three gases on the exact same surface.

This versatile instrument enables measurement of plastic films, monolayer or multilayer barrier films, metallized films with special surface coatings, laminates, or co-extrusions commonly used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries. In addition to film permeability measurements, TotalPerm, equipped with modular accessories, can analyze formed containers such as bag-in-box, PET bottles, and various types of containers.

TotalPerm is the ideal solution for companies involved in producing or using barrier packaging, offering top performance in a single instrument at a competitive price. The specialized TotalPerm ExtraSolution® software ensures maximum operational simplicity. Users can program sequences of measurements on the same sample, with different gases and conditions, all executed automatically in sequence by the software.

Choosing TotalPerm means making an intelligent decision that simplifies laboratory operations, reduces costs, and optimizes space. Why buy three different instruments when you can have TotalPerm?
