THE BACCHUS 02 BARRIER : OXYGEN BARRIER PERFROMANCE
TM
O2™ has a barrier performance to oxygen of 2.0 cc/ m2/ day. This means that there would typically be an oxygen transmission rate of 0.0005 cc per cork per day through the O2 Barrier™. Corks with faults such as cracks, which would otherwise allow high levels of oxygen to permeate, show greatly improved performance when coated with O2™. The overall effect depends on the cork employed, the diameter of the bottle neck and other factors such as the quality of the glass used.
O2™ also helps prevent random premature oxidation due to the natural variability of corks. As a result the winemaker can have confidence that for a given cork type he will see consistent results.
