Testing of barrier properties
Services to support your research and development activities
KCL Laboratory offers comprehensive barrier property evaluations for a variety of materials
Our advanced testing equipment and various methods enables us to assess the barrier properties of commercial products, pilot scale materials, and laboratory samples.
We offer barrier testing to support your product development by providing information on material performance regarding e.g.,water, oil, vapor, and gas resistance. We offer a wide range of testing methods, including sorption and transmission rate tests, to provide a thorough analysis of material barrier properties. This allows for informed decisions on material selection and improvement in product design.
