Product Introduction - Stretch Film

I. Product Definition

Stretch film, also known as cling film, is a plastic film with high tensile strength and retractability. It is mainly used for cargo packaging and pallet wrapping, tightly wrapping items together to prevent loosening, dust, moisture, or damage during transportation.

II. Product Advantages

High-strength protection: It has good puncture resistance and tear resistance, effectively preventing transportation damage.

Excellent tensile properties: It can significantly reduce film costs, using less material for the same packaging volume.

Good self-adhesiveness: Single-sided or double-sided self-adhesive, no tape or heat sealing required, easy to use.

High transparency: Convenient for cargo identification and enhances packaging grade.

High-efficiency packaging: Compatible with automatic packaging machines, suitable for high-speed production lines.

Environmentally friendly and recyclable: Meets environmental protection requirements, recyclable, and energy-efficient.

VI. Production Process

1.  Raw material preparation

Select high-quality LLDPE and auxiliary agents (antioxidants, adhesives, etc.).

2.  Melt extrusion

Melt the raw materials using a single-screw or twin-screw extruder.

3.  Film forming method:

Cast Film Cast Film ): Uniform film forming, high transparency, suitable for automatic packaging;

Blown Film Blown Film ): Strong toughness, good puncture resistance, suitable for heavy cargo.

4.  Cooling and traction

Rapidly cool the film material to maintain its thickness and physical properties.

5.  Slitting and rewinding

Slit into smaller rolls of different widths or lengths according to customer requirements.

6.  Quality inspection

Conduct tensile testing, thickness testing, self-adhesiveness testing, haze and transparency testing.
