 alloys with high barrier to oxygen and moisture have been launched by GLS GLS - Guy Lewis Steele, Jr.  Corp., McHenry, Ill., for food, beverage, and medical applications. Oxygen permeation per·me·a·tion
n.
The process of spreading through or penetrating, as in the extension of a malignant neoplasm by continuous proliferation of the cells along the blood or lymph vessels.
 ranges from 2000 to 20,000 cc-mil/[m.sup.2]-day-atm at 23 C compared with 50,000 to 90,000 for standard TPEs. MVTR MVTR Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate
