Are MVTR and WVTR the same type of measurement?
MVTR is commonly used for moisture vapor transmission rate; WVTR refers to water vapor transmission rate. Compare the actual report, units, method, temperature, and humidity rather than the abbreviation alone.
What does OVTR mean?
OVTR is the oxygen transmission label used on this page; test reports commonly use oxygen transmission rate (OTR). Request the laminate’s OTR report with units and test conditions, including oxygen pressure conditions.
What MVTR and OVTR values do these liners achieve?
The rating depends on the specified laminate and its test conditions. The displayed published example is 0.0005 g/100 in²/24 h MVTR and 0.01 cm³/m²/24 h OTR for one laminate. These are reference figures, not guaranteed ratings for the liner you order. Ask Bulk-Pack for confirmed values and test conditions for the proposed construction.
Can foil liners be vacuum sealed?
Vacuum sealing can be specified with a compatible laminate, sealant layer, and sealing system. Review the package size, product, evacuation method, seal settings, and package-integrity checks together.
Are these useful for coffee?
Coffee is a useful application to review where oxygen and moisture exposure matter. Discuss whole-bean or ground product, roast timing, gas release, filling conditions, storage duration, and the proposed vacuum or gas-management process.
Does a low film transmission rate guarantee shelf life?
No. Laminate test results describe the tested material under stated conditions. Seals, closures, handling damage, residual oxygen, product characteristics, and storage conditions also need review and finished-package evaluation.
Can a foil liner replace another liner in a certified FIBC?
Review the change against the complete bag design and any applicable food-contact, electrostatic, or hazardous-materials qualification requirements before substitution.
