An apparatus developed for the measurement of radon diffusion through thin foils for the SuperNEMO project is presented. The goal of the SuperNEMO collaboration is to construct a new generation detector for the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0v beta beta) with 100 kg of enriched isotope as the source. At present, the collaboration is carrying out R&D in order to suppress significantly intrinsic background including that caused by radon. The description of the apparatus, data analysis method, as well as the results obtained in the measurement of radon diffusion through several types of thin foils, glue and sealant suitable for shielding in the SuperNEMO detector are discussed.
