The purpose of this study is to obtain, by means of simple apparatus, reliable values for the rate of organic vapor permeation through plastic films. Meanwhile, the effect of structural similarity on permeation is discussed in terms of the mechanism of organic vapor transfer through plastic film. The apparatus is designed so that the amount of vapor which permeates through the film is measured by direct weighing as a function of time at constant temperature. This method is a type of pouch method.
