Topic: Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) in pharmaceuticals

Key Highlights:
[1] MVTR is a critical parameter for ensuring product quality, stability, and shelf life in both pharma and food packaging applications

[2] Temperature and humidity are the primary drivers of MVTR behavior – higher temperatures accelerate molecular movement and vapor transmission, while greater humidity gradients create stronger driving forces for moisture penetration.

[3] MVTR performance must be validated throughout the entire supply chain from manufacturing through storage and distribution, as environmental conditions at each stage can impact the protective barrier effectiveness

[4] Appropriate MVTR values are not just quality preferences but regulatory requirements for maintaining product safety, efficacy, and compliance with pharma and food safety standards
