Matexcel, a leading materials technology company dedicated to advanced functional materials and analytical services, has officially launched a new set of liquid and gas permeation testing solutions. The newly introduced platform aims to support researchers and manufacturers in evaluating the diffusion and permeability of materials under various environmental conditions, providing valuable insights for product design, quality control, and material selection.
Permeation testing is essential in determining how liquids and gases move through solid materials. This information is vital for industries such as polymers, coatings, energy storage, packaging, and membrane technology, where performance and safety rely heavily on a material’s ability to resist or regulate fluid penetration. With this service expansion, Matexcel now offers clients a reliable resource to test and interpret the complex behavior of barrier materials in real-world applications.
The company’s liquid permeation testing includes analysis using different fluids—water, oil, solvent mixtures, and brine—performed on hoses, pipes, rubber sheets, and other flat components. Tests can be conducted under high temperature and pressure according to international standards such as ASTM E96, ASTM D814, and ISO 8308.
For gases, the gas permeation test program evaluates materials’ response to oxygen, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, nitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide. Testing conditions can be customized to reflect specific operating pressures and temperatures. Methods follow established protocols including ASTM D1434, ISO 2556, ISO 15105, and API 17J, ensuring consistent and comparable data.
Recognizing the increasing global focus on hydrogen energy, Matexcel has also introduced hydrogen permeation analysis. This specialized test measures diffusion coefficients, permeability, activation energy, and hydrogen–material interactions across a wide temperature range. The system employs gas-phase osmosis techniques and precision detection instruments to capture even minute variations in permeability.
To guarantee data accuracy, Matexcel integrates high-end equipment such as ultra-high vacuum chambers (as low as 10⁻⁷ Pa), corrosion-resistant sample holders, and quadrupole mass spectrometers for signal acquisition. Advanced software allows real-time monitoring and data collection, enabling researchers to visualize how permeability evolves over time.
Johnson, one of the representative speakers from Matexcel, commented:
“Our permeation testing services give clients a powerful way to understand how their materials behave under stress and exposure. By combining standardized procedures with flexible experimental setups, we can deliver precise results that directly support innovation and safety in multiple industries.”
With the introduction of this comprehensive testing platform, Matexcel continues to expand from a materials supplier to a full-service partner, offering not only high-quality materials but also analytical and validation capabilities. The company’s growing suite of material testing services reinforces its mission to support cutting-edge research and ensure that advanced materials meet the highest standards of reliability and performance.
