| Project Objective: |
NineSigma, representing a global consumer products company is seeking rapid, practical solutions to fix a leakage problem in polyvinlyalcohol pouches in a consumer application. Currently, liquid-filled polyvinylalcohol (PVA) pouches are experiencing failure and leakage under normal product handling. Improvements in the robustness of the PVA pouch are desired to allow them to withstand transport and distribution, and to be able to use the existing packaging. Possible approaches to reduce product failures include:
- Methods to improve the quality of seal of the pouches.
- Methods to control quality of current PVA film supply which will make stronger seals and pouches.
- Solutions to reduce the shock imparted to the pouches in the package or reduce their vulnerability.
- Methods to analyze pouch quality during production via non-destructive testing and to reject pouches likely to subsequently leak.
- Expertise and experience with design tools such as Finite Element Analysis of heat sealed pouches to identify design improvements.
