    MOCON - OTR, WVTR, CO2TR TESTING THIS STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) DESCRIBES THE TESTING REQUIRED TO MEASURE THE GASES AND WATER VAPOR TRANSMISSION (PERMEATION) PROPERTIES OF A VARIETY OF MONOLITHIC POLYMER MEMBRANES MANUFACTURED BY DSM PTG. BECAUSE OF THEIR PERMEATION PROPERTIES THESE MATERIALS COULD BE USED AS FUNCTIONAL LAYER IN THE SPACE SUIT TO PROVIDE PASSIVE COOLING BY EVAPORATION OR USED AS BARRIER/FILTER LAYER TO SELECTIVELY PROHIBIT OXYGEN (O2) AND FAVOR WATER VAPOR AND CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) TRANSMISSIONS. THE PURPOSE OF MEASURING GAS AND WATER VAPOR TRANSMISSION THROUGH THESE MEMBRANES IS TO ASSESS THEIR FEASIBILITY FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED SPACE SUIT APPLICATIONS. THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TESTING THESE MATERIALS AND THE CORRESPONDING JUSTIFICATION FOR SELECTING A VENDOR ARE PRESENTED IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION. SIX SETS OF MEMBRANES WERE PROVIDED BY DSM PTG FOR TESTING AND EVALUATION. THESE SETS CONSIST OF FIVE OR SIX SAMPLES OF THREE TYPES OF MEMBRANES IN TWO THICKNESSES EACH; THE MATERIALS ARE ELASTANE 80A, CUSTOM TPU 1, AND CUSTOM TPU2. THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRANSMISSION RATE TESTING, OXYGEN TRANSMISSION RATE (OTR), CARBON DIOXIDE TRANSMISSION RATE (CO2TR), AND WATER VAPOR TRANSMISSION RATE (WVTR) ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS EVALUATION. THE OTR TEST SHOULD BE CONDUCTED IN REFERENCE TO ASTM D3985 STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR OXYGEN GAS TRANSMISSION RATE THROUGH PLASTIC FILM AND SHEETING USING A COULOMETRIC SENSOR . THE WVTR TEST SHOULD BE CONDUCTED IN REFERENCE TO ASTM D6701 STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR DETERMINING WATER VAPOR TRANSMISSION RATES THROUGH NONWOVEN AND PLASTIC BARRIERS . THE CO2TR TEST SHOULD BE CONDUCTED IN REFERENCE TO ASTM F2476 STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE GAS TRANSMISSION RATE THROUGH BARRIER MATERIALS USING AN INFRARED DETECTOR . ALL TESTING SHALL BE CONDUCTED AT 80 5 F TEMPERATURE AND 72 5 % RELATIVE HUMIDITY (RH). A TOTAL OF 14 TESTS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS EVALUATION.

About this data

This profile aggregates federal enforcement records on MOCON INC from every major federal compliance and enforcement source plus the UVA Corporate Prosecution Registry. OSHA workplace safety inspections, WHD wage cases, MSHA mine safety, EPA environmental enforcement, NLRB labor relations, OFLC visa/labor certification, FMCSA motor carrier registration, SAM.gov debarments, CMS nursing-home records, BLS industry safety benchmarks, OSHA ITA self-reported injury rates, SEC enforcement and financial disclosures, CPSC and NHTSA recalls.

Establishments are matched across agencies using normalized employer name, state, and ZIP code.

OSHA citations typically appear 3–8 months after the inspection, so very recent enforcement actions may not yet be reflected. Profiles may be incomplete if the establishment operates under multiple legal names or files under variations our entity-matching rules don’t yet cover. To report a missing record or correction, email corrections@fastdol.com.
