Viscous Product No Match for New CCI Tech

MicroCurrent HVLD Might Ensure Better Container Closure Integrity for New Product Formulations

New product types and packaging configurations, such as highly viscous formulations, pose a significant threat to traditional leak-testing methods, challenging current practices for container closure integrity testing (CCI). In light of this, a series of feasibility studies was conducted to challenge traditional leak-testing methods. Using real-world positive control methods conducted to detect defects occurring in the manufacturing process, MicroCurrent High Voltage Leak Detection (HVLD) proved a significantly better test for highly viscous low conductivity products. The studies showed that Micro- Current HVLD can achieve a reliable leak detection limit even all the way down to critical leak sizes.
