Moisture vapor transmission

MethylceUulose reduces surface and interfacial tension. MethylceUulose forms high strength films and sheets that are clear, water-soluble, and oU-and grease-resistant, and have low oxygen and moisture vapor transmission rates (see Barrier polymers). 

They can be breathable with high moisture vapor transmission.

In addition to the Bisphenol-A backbone epoxy resins, epoxies with substituted aromatic backbones and in the tri- and tetra- functional forms have been produced. Structure-property relationships exist so that an epoxy backbone chemistry can be selected for the desired end product property. Properties such as oxygen permeability, moisture vapor transmission and glass transition temperature have been related to the backbone structure of epoxy resins5). Whatever the backbone structure, resins containing only the pure monomeric form can be produced but usually a mixture of different molecular weight species are present with their distribution being dictated by the end-use of the resin. 

Following are the tests described in this Spec wet tensile strength, adhesion at low temp, moisture-vapor transmission rate, water-penetration rate corrosion, accelerated aging, dry tensile strength and tearing resistance... 

Vinylidene chloride polymers have several properties that are valuable in the coatings industry excellent resistance to gas and moisture vapor transmission, good resistance to attack by solvents and by fats and oils, high strength, and the abilrtv to be heat-sealed. 

Fillers often have a significant effect on the moisture resistance, the moisture-vapor transmission rate, and the solvent and chemical resistance of the cured adhesive bond. The effect, however, can be in either direction. Some fillers such as calcium carbonate tend to lower acid resistance, whereas others, such as silica or aluminum, may tend to lower alkali resistance. 

Diaphragm having very low moisture vapor transmission rate, used over generator outlets to provide a hermetic seal. 

Weatherability E = excellent, VG = very good, G = good, F = fair, P = poor, NR = not recommended. The ratings of the asterisked cadmiums are dependent on the imperviousness of the polymer to moisture vapor transmission. Cadmium yellows in tint and mercury-cadmium pigments are not recommended for exterior exposure. Ultramarine blue (double asterisk) performance is highly dependent on the degree of acid exposure.

Commercialization of ODTs have to go through the final evaluation of long-term stability of the tablet matrix and packaging components per International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines. As the majority of ODT dosage forms on the market are sensitive to moisture, evaluation of moisture vapor transmission rate is an important parameter for assessing the shelf life of the product.

Melting point 75-102°C depending on polymer ratios. Moisture vapor transmission rate see Table I. Thickness see Table I. 

The moisture vapor transmission (MVT) of the CFC-11 blown foam is reduced (3.5 perms vs. 5.5 perms for the COj-blown foam). 

SPMs can now be found in commercial markets and specialty clothing due to their lightweight structure, liquid and aerosol repellent properties, and facilitation of moisture vapor transport. However, for military use, SPMs have limitations (Wilusz 2007). SPMs may act as liquid-repellents but may allow vapors to pass and therefore need an activated carbon layer to add extra protection capabilities. Moreover, military garments experience tremendous stress on a day-to-day basis. SPM-based ensembles are more susceptible to tearing as compared to activated carbon-based textile fabrics (Wilusz 2007). Optimizing the permselectivity of the membrane by surface modification or other such techniques is necessary to achieve a balance between comfort (e.g., moisture vapor transmission) and chemical vapor barrier properties. Furthermore, SPMs or membrane-carbon ensembles must possess acceptable mechanical strength to sustain daily military operations.
