What Is MIL-B-131 Barrier Material?
MIL-PRF-131 barrier material is a military performance specification that protects large and small items packed and shipped for the military. The United States military needs robust packaging and storage materials to protect various items from adverse elements, and MIL-PRF-131 is a type of packaging that provides this protection.
Caltex Plastics is a leading plastic packaging manufacturer with extensive industry experience in military packaging. Our solutions can be customized to your requirements for lightweight, flexible MIL-PRF-131 barrier materials that are also rugged and fit for military shipping.
MIL-PRF-131 Formerly MIL-B-131
MIL-B-131 is now known as MIL-PRF-131 and has the same properties, such as being a moisture barrier and highly resistant to tears, corrosion and oxidation. MIL-PRF-131 is divided into classes: Class 1 and Class 3.
Packaging for Military Performance Specifications
MIL-PRF-131 packaging is ideal for businesses that manufacture, ship or distribute items for the military. The packaging offers robust security for objects even in harsh conditions, such as salt and moisture. The flexible barrier materials of MIL-PRF-131 provide the following features:
- Grease-proof: MIL-PRF-131 offers effective protection against grease that could otherwise affect sensitive items by attracting particulates and other contaminants.
- Flexible: MIL-PRF-131 includes flexible barrier materials, which are ideal for wrapping larger items to ensure the best shipping, handling and storage conditions possible.
- Heat-sealable: Heat-sealable packaging is vital for consignments intended for the military. MIL-PRF-131 can be heat-sealed and used for vacuum packaging.
- Tear resistant: Caltex Plastics’ MIL-PRF-131 barrier materials are highly resistant to tears and punctures to protect sensitive items during rough transportation and storage conditions.
- Water vapor-proof: Water vapor can cause mold, mildew, corrosion and damage to electronics. Our MIL-PRF-131 materials offer water-vapor protection to items susceptible to such damage.
- Chemical resistant: Resistant to non-volatile chemicals, MIL-PRF-131 packaging will help ensure any items shipped for military use remain as safe as possible during shipping, handling and storage.
