Description
A material, such as plastic, paper or metal, that is impermeable to gas or liquid. Modern barrier materials are usually made from lightweight transparent plastic sheets whose goal is to reach the barrier properties of a metal or glass. Metal sheets, such as Aluminum foil have good barrier properties. They are often laminated with polyethylene and/or nylon to provide tear and corrosion resistance. Some plastics work well as vapor barriers (Polyvinylidene chloride, polyester, rigid Polyvinyl chloride, nylon, Polychlorotrifluoroethylene, Polyvinyl fluoride) while other are best for moisture (polyvinyl chloride, Regenerated cellulose, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polymethyl methacrylate (Hatchfield 2002). Multiple materials are laminated for optimized barrier properties. For anoxia treatments, films with low oxygen permeability are best. Some examples of films with minimal oxygen transmission are: Filmpak 1193 = 0.1 cc/m2/day ( mil thick); Aclar® =14 cc/m2/day( 4.5 mil thick) ; Marvelseal® 360 = 0.01 cc/m2/day; EVOH/nylon barrier film = 2.3 cc/m2/day (3 mil thick).
