- Polyester films can be slowly permeable to moisture over time. Their rates of vapor transmission are dependent on film thickness, and the environmental conditions to which they are exposed. After 24 hours of immersion, freezing, and thawing, moisture appeared inside shrink-wrap and polyester film.This likely resulted from a disruption in the film’s seal, or a flaw in the film, not moisture permeability.
