Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for determining the gas permeability of barrier coatings (1) in the region of container walls (2). A quantity of gas to be analysed emerging from the region of the wall of the container into an analysis chamber that is at least partially defined by the barrier coating is measured in said analysis chamber (8). Before entering the analysis chamber, the gas to be analysed is located in the region of the wall. The measuring element can be integrated into a coating device for the container. To this end, a testing device provided with the measuring element is arranged in the transport direction of the container behind the coating device.
Abstract:
The container for packaging is made from a thermoplastic plastic and is coated in the region of the inner surface thereof, such that a release of components contained within the plastic into the product packed in the container is prevented or at least significantly reduced. The coating can be applied by means of a plasma coating. The device for the production of preforms and the method for production of containers is essentially based on a direct coupling of a reactor for production of the plastic to an injection moulding device for the production of preforms. The preforms are then moulded to give the container by a blow forming process and the inner surface thereof is then provided with the coating.
