STRETCH FILM (Plain & Multicolored)
FILM PROPERTIES
- Width : Commonly available widths from 75 to 1000.
- Thickness: Typically ranges from 15 microns t0 150 microns.
- Length: Roll lengths vary from 100 meters to 3000 meters or more, depending on the thickness and width of the film.
- Gauge: The thickness of the film, often specified in microns or mils (1 mil —25.4 microns).
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
- Tensile Strength: Typically ranges from 2500to 4000 psi, depending on the film grade and thickness.
- Elongation: Generally. ranges from 200% to 500%, allowing for stretching and wrapping around irregular shapes.
- Tear Resistance: Designed to withstand typical handling and transportation stresses.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
- Stretchability: High stretch ratio, typically up to 300% to 400% Of the film's original length, providing tight and secure wrapping,
- Transparency: Available in clear or tinted options to allow for visibility of wrapped products.
TYPES
- Hand Stretch Film: Designed for manual application With a hand-held dispenser. Typically thinner and less strong com pared to machine stretch film.
- Machine Stretch Film: Engineered for use with automatic or semi-automatic stretch wrapping machines. Usually thicker and stronger for high-volu me applicat ions.
- Pre-Stretched Film: Pre-stretched during manufacturing for reduced force requirement and increased load holding strength
SPECIAL FEATURES
- UV Protection: UV stabilized options available for extended and protection against sunlight
- Anti-slip: Film with anti-slip additives to prevent loads from shifting during transportation.
APPLICATIONS
- Industrial: Securing palletized goods, stabilizing loads, and protecting products during shipping and storage.
- Retail: Wrapping items for display, bundling products, and securing goods for transport.
