Testing Methods for Permeability of Plastic Films

플라스틱 필름류의 투습도 측정방법

Water vapor permeability of plastic films was measured by Electric tester and Cup tester and the data of the two were compared. Regardless of the testing method, water vapor permeability measured by two methods showed consistent results. By these methods, water vapor permeability of polyethylene film was $21.25g/m^2$. 24h and $5.4g/m^2$. 24h for 0.045mm and 0.08mm thickness, respectively. The water vapor permeability of casted polypropylene film was 14.93 and $14.90g/m^2$. 24h for Electric tester and Cup tester, respectively. In conclusion, the data obtained by Cup tester was consistent with those of the Electric tester. The Cup tester was certified to perform the water vapor pormeability testing method.

플라스틱 필름의 투습도 측정장치를 제작하여 전자투습도 측정장치로 필름의 투습도를 측정해 본 결과 두 측정 장치간에는 5% 수준(P<0.05)에서 유의차가 없었다. 따라서 제작한 투습도 측정장치를 산업에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
