Testing the ability of a flexible multi-layer package to hold or “contain” a material is cumbersome and subjective. This model qualitatively predicts the outcome based on the rate the contained material permeates the sealant and the ability of the contained material to disrupt the adhesive bond. Key factors which affect permeation and bond disruption are discussed as well as the role of the sealant and the robustness of the adhesive or primer.
