Vapour to blame?
10 August 2016
Vapours, usually water or hydrocarbon that seep into the wrong place are responsible for a great number of cases of machines that jam, electronics that fail, foods that rot, metals that rust, and drugs that lose potency according to Versaperm.

Testing the vapour permeability of both the materials and any suspect component or enclosure can help prevent these issues.
Versaperm's latest permeability measuring instrumentation offers a quick and easy way to determine the vapour permeability for virtually any system, component, product or material. It allows you to quantify the problem accurately and check for practical solutions. It is suited to both development and QC roles.
