Simulating the impact of high humidity conditions on the moisture barrier properties of packaging
Simulating the Impact of High Humidity Conditions on the Moisture Barrier Properties of Packaging A Critical Laboratory Service for Businesses
In todays fast-paced and competitive market, ensuring the integrity of packaging is more crucial than ever. With the increasing focus on product quality, safety, and shelf life, businesses must be able to guarantee that their packaging can withstand various environmental conditions. One such condition that poses a significant threat to packaging is high humidity. Prolonged exposure to high humidity can compromise the moisture barrier properties of packaging, leading to moisture-related issues, such as
Reduced product shelf life
Increased risk of contamination and spoilage
Loss of product efficacy
Economic losses due to product recall or replacement
To mitigate these risks, businesses need a reliable and scientifically-backed laboratory service that can simulate the impact of high humidity conditions on their packaging. This is where Eurolab comes in our comprehensive laboratory service offers expert analysis and testing of packaging materials under controlled high humidity conditions.

Compliance with Regulations Our laboratory service ensures that your packaging meets regulatory requirements, minimizing the risk of non-compliance and associated fines.
How Does Simulating High Humidity Conditions Work?
Our simulated high humidity testing process involves a series of controlled tests designed to simulate real-world environmental conditions. The following steps outline our comprehensive approach
Packaging Sample Preparation We receive your packaging samples, ensuring they are properly labeled and prepared for testing.
Humidity Chamber Testing Your packaging samples are placed in a specially designed humidity chamber where high humidity conditions (typically 80-90 relative humidity) are maintained for a set period (usually several days or weeks).
Moisture Barrier Assessment After the test, we assess your packagings moisture barrier properties using advanced analytical techniques, such as water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), oxygen permeability, and gas transmission rate.
Data Analysis and Reporting We provide you with a comprehensive report detailing our findings, including recommendations for packaging optimization and improvements.
Expertise and Equipment
At Eurolab, we pride ourselves on providing cutting-edge laboratory services using state-of-the-art equipment and adhering to the highest industry standards. Our team of experts in packaging science has extensive experience in simulating high humidity conditions, ensuring that our results are accurate, reliable, and actionable.
Advanced Humidity Chamber Our specially designed humidity chamber can simulate a wide range of humidity levels (20-100 relative humidity) and temperatures (-20C to 40C), allowing us to accurately replicate various environmental conditions.
High-Sensitivity Analytical Equipment We utilize advanced analytical instruments, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF), to detect subtle changes in packaging materials.
