  • 1.  Vented container standardized test method

    Posted 10-31-2022 01:42 PM
    Hi IOPP professionals,

    I am wondering if there are any standardized methods available for testing of vent performance for vented rigid plastic containers?

    Thank you in advances for your help!!

    Melinda, I'm not the best person to answer your question here but I am as likely are others reading this, curious to know a couple of other details such as;
     - what type of container does this situation invovle 
     - how is it currently being sealed 
     - what is the substance/product being contained within

    Knowing these will assist anyone here with specific experience and expertise to be able to help you further, including me perhaps.
