ined O2 permeability.
The investigated film structures, more precisely the respective thicknesses of the OS and sealing layers, significantly influence the effectiveness of OS multilayer films.
The investigated scavenger films were able to compensate a simulated O2 permeation through 10-micron pinholes but not through 17-micron defects.
The combination of integrating an OS in packaging materials with leak detection along the filling line could be recommended to provide enhanced product safety
