OTR in practice
OTR (Oxygen Transmission Rate) is the rate at which oxygen passes through a material: how much oxygen crosses the material's surface over 24 hours (cm³/m²/24h). The lower it is, the better the barrier — and the longer the life of coffee, snacks or fatty products, whose enemy is oxidation.
We measure on MOCON
Our laboratory tests oxygen permeability on MOCON instruments to the applicable standards. This lets us compare material structures numerically and make technology decisions before series production — not after a complaint.
Barrier without aluminium or EVOH
The market is moving away from aluminium, metallisation and EVOH wherever they hinder recycling. Barrier lacquers make it possible to build simplified, mono-material packaging with a low OTR — exactly the direction we're developing in the MarEco line and in our EU-funded projects.
