The Claim

Bionanocomposite films containing 1.5% zinc oxide nanoparticles reduce the water vapor transmission rate to 185.8±1.2 kg/m²·day, compared to 3450±4.1 kg/m²·day for an open bottle control.

In plain English

A special film with tiny zinc particles makes it much harder for water vapor to pass through, keeping things inside much drier than if they were just in an open bottle.

See the scientific wording

Bionanocomposite films reduce water vapor transmission rate, with values of 3450±4.1 kg/m²·day for open bottle control and 185.8±1.2 kg/m²·day for films containing 1.5% zinc oxide nanoparticles.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: Development of (polyvinylpyrrolidone/chitsoan/citric acid)/(zinc oxide‐nanoparticles) bionanocomposite films and their applications in biodegradation and antimicrobial activity

    The study tested the exact same material mentioned in the claim and found the same numbers, showing these films really do reduce water vapor transmission.
