Validation method of barrier performance of duck neck aluminum-plastic composite film

Abstract : Duck neck is a common flavor snack, delicious and tasty, which is popular with consumers. During the circulation process of the duck neck finished product packaging, quality problems such as bagging and air leakage often occur, which brings unpleasant consumer experience to consumers. The problem of causing similar quality problems in the duck neck is often caused by poor barrier properties of the packaging material. This article uses the OX2/230 Oxygen Transmission Rate Test System and FDT-02 Kneading Tester independently developed by Jinan Languang Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd. to verify the barrier properties of the duck neck aluminum-plastic composite packaging bag and explains the principle of the device. The parameters and operation process have certain reference and guiding significance for controlling the barrier properties of aluminum-plastic composite film.

1 , the meaning

Duck neck is a high-protein, low-fat food, with Qi and tonic, beauty and other beauty effects, fresh and beautiful, is a leisure food for all ages. The rich nutrients of duck neck also impose stringent requirements on the barrier properties of packaging materials. If the oxygen barrier properties of the packaging materials are low and the oxygen transmission rate is high, the amount of oxygen that the neck of the duck is exposed to is higher. Prone to mildew, swelling bag, odor and other quality problems.

At present, most of the common duck necks are packaged in aluminum-plastic composite film. For such aluminum foil-containing packaging materials, due to the presence of aluminum foil material, it has the characteristics of impatience in rubbing, that is, it is susceptible to creases under the influence of external forces. Pinholes and other defects, resulting in reduced barrier properties, so for aluminum-plastic composite film, aluminized film plastic composite film materials, oxygen barrier, not only should pay attention to the oxygen permeability before no rub, but also pay attention to its rubbing The oxygen transmission rate.

2 , related test standards

At present, the testing standards for oxygen permeability of soft plastic packaging in China are GB/T 1038-2000 " Pressure difference method for testing plastic film and sheet gas permeability ", GB/T 19789-2005 , Packaging materials, plastic films and sheets. Oxygen permeability test coulometric detection method, etc., but there is no relevant testing standard in the domestic rubbing test. When used domestically, refer to the American standard ASTM F 392 .

4.1 Test principle

The OX2/230 Oxygen Permeability Test System uses the equal pressure test principle. The pre-treated sample is clamped between the test chambers. Oxygen or air flows on one side of the film. High purity nitrogen is on the other side of the film. Flowing, oxygen molecules diffuse through the membrane to the high purity nitrogen on the other side and are carried by the flowing nitrogen to the sensor. The oxygen concentration measured by the sensor is analyzed to calculate parameters such as oxygen permeability. For packaging containers, high-purity nitrogen flows in the container, and air or high-purity oxygen surrounds the outside of the container.

FDT-02 Kneading Tester simulates the actions of kneading, folding and compressing of packaging materials during production, processing, transportation, etc., and performs horizontal and vertical omnidirectional kneading on the sample. The change in barrier properties before and after rubbing the sample is detected. Or change the number of pinholes to determine the material's resistance to rubbing.
