Original Press Release:
Mocon Launches New, Ultra High-Barrier Water Vapor Permeation Test Instrument
Minneapolis, MN (September 26, 2005) -MOCON, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOCO) launches AQUATRAN Model 1, a new, ultra high-barrier water vapor permeation test instrument.
What makes this unit different from any other water vapor permeation test instrument on the market is that it offers significant improvement by offering ten times the measurement sensitivity.
The AQUATRAN Model 1 makes it possible to accurately measure water vapor transmission rates down to 0.0005 g/m2 per day under varying temperature conditions. (Conventional units typically only measure to 0.005 g/m2 per day.)
This makes the AQUATRAN Model 1 ideally suited as a measurement instrument for new, commercial or developmental ultra high-barrier structures. These structures are being engineered to push the barrier envelope. Therefore, accurate and extremely sensitive instrumentation is necessary to build performance statistics.
The unit is ideally suited for developers, manufacturers or converters of ultra high-barrier films, as well as packagers using them to help extend product shelf life.
In addition to food and pharmaceutical applications, these ultra high-barrier films are also used in the manufacture of Organic Light Emitting Displays (OLED).
MOCON is a leading provider of instrumentation and consulting and laboratory services to medical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries worldwide. See www.mocon.com for more information.
