Stretch refers to thin, transparent (or opaque) plastic layers that are used to package and protect various products due to their elasticity and adhesion. This polymer film is produced in rolls, and the name “stretch” comes from its ability to stretch when used for packaging.
Applications of Stretch
The main use of stretch is to package and physically protect products. Here are some of its uses:
Food packaging:
Food stretch is used to cover and protect foods from contamination, maintain freshness, and prevent contact with external factors. This type of stretch is compatible with food and does not have an unpleasant odor.
Industrial packaging:
Industrial stretch is used to package heavy and bulky goods, such as pallets, furniture, and tables. This film prevents dust, moisture, and sunlight from coming into contact with products.
Packaging of other products:
Stretch is used in the packaging of a variety of other products to ensure their health and stability during handling and transportation.
Advantages of stretch
Elasticity:
High elasticity allows stretch to adhere well to the surface of products and tightly enclose them
Adhesion:
This low adhesion property allows the film to be placed easily on products
Physical protection:
Protects products from environmental factors such as dust, moisture and physical damage.
Tear resistance:
Despite its thinness, stretch is resistant to stretching and pressure and does not tear.
Stretch is a plastic product with elasticity and adhesion that is used for packaging, protecting and transporting goods in various industries, including food, agriculture and industry. This plastic film creates elasticity, bonds the goods together, protects them from moisture, impact, and environmental damage, and ensures speed and reliability in transportation.
