SHRINK FILM
ADVANTAGES OF USING SHRINK FILM
This material is made of special polymers that can shrink under the influence of high temperatures. That is why packaging cargo in shrink wrap provides a wide range of advantages.
- Ability to work with products of various configurations and sizes.
- High coefficient of strength and tightness.
- No windage effect.
- Protection against condensation.
- It protects against mold and fungi.
From what damage does the shrink film protect?
This material is suitable for containers, modular boiler houses, aviation, marine, military equipment, industrial equipment, special purpose machines, metal structures and other large-sized products. Packing the cargo in shrink wrap definitely protects the cargo against damage, which may be caused by the following adverse factors.
- Atmospheric precipitation.
- Dirt and dust.
- Fine gravel and sand.
Films made of thermoplastic polymers are actively used in the packaging of modular buildings, as well as one of the materials for the construction of temporary structures.
Packaging technology
The cargo is wrapped in shrink wrap according to the following steps.
- Canvas selection. It must be strong, suitable for the size of the cargo to completely cover it. Hiding object.
- Tension of the sling. This element is fixed at the bottom of the load.
- Sealing the ends with a gas burner. Thus, the film is attached around the sling.
- Heating and then shrinkage.
Packaging of cargo in shrink wrap can be carried out both indoors and outdoors. The location of the work does not affect the tightness and strength of the canvas. Further removal of the film does not take much time and does not require any special preparation.
