STRETCH & SHRINK FILM

Industry Study #3796 | March 2020

This Freedonia industry study analyzes the 2.6

billion pound US stretch and shrink film market. It presents historical demand data (2009, 2014, 2019) and forecasts for 2024 by type (stretch film, shrink film), market (storage & distribution – pallet unitization, bundling and other; product packaging – food, beverages, paper and textile, consumer, other packaging applications), and resin (linear low-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, other resins).

  • Say NO to Plastic Bags Introduction

    Say NO to Plastic Bags Introduction

    Say NO to Plastic Bags Introduction Plastic bags are littering our streets and waterways, and clogging the processing machines at our transfer stations. Some communities have attempted to address the problem using one of three methods. Could any of these work in your community? Bag Bans ▪ Plastic bag bans are placed on a state, city, or town level and can be regulated by code enforcement officers who periodically visit vendors to ensure they are following the regulations. ▪ Violators will be penalized with a fine. Bag Bans ▪ Ban the distribution of plastic bags by chain retailers within a community. ▪ Cuts off supply of plastic bags at the source. ▪ Some bans are based on square footage of the business, i.e.. Retail establishments or food providers with greater than 10,000 square feet in specific store size must comply with the ban. ▪ Small businesses are harder to regulate but are usually brought under the regulation over time. Bag Bans ▪ Works very well in some areas ▪ In Portland Oregon, since 2013, the ban caused a reusable bag use increase of 304% while paper bag use jumped 491%. ▪ Some vendors have found loopholes to this method. ▪ Austin, Texas and Honolulu, Hawaii placed a ban that initially only included bags that were 4- millimeter thick or less. ▪ This caused retailers to start using thicker plastic bags, greater than 4mm that still ended up in the waste stream. ▪ Barrington, Rhode Island ran into the same loophole after enacting the ‘Reusable Check- out Bag Initiative’. ▪ Shaw’s and CVS seized the opportunity and introduced a so called reusable plastic bag that was thicker than the 2.25-millimeter limit.

    Temperature-Sensitive Cargo Protection Complies with Time & Temperature Sensitive Cargo Regulations ™ ® TEST DATA – DUPONT TYVEK AIR CARGO COVERS DuPont™ Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers provide excellent Temperature comparison ‘all-in-one’ protection against temperature excursions Control (stretch wrap) When it comes to managing the risk of temperature excursions throughout the cold chain, protecting your products against ambient temperature extremes is important. However, solar ºC radiation may be the most critical–and under-appreciated–threat you face. That’s because 56.2 solar radiation is the leading cause of high-temperature spikes on the tarmac. We have conducted various trials for the Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers (including an environmental chamber test, sun exposure trial and real life scenario trial). Please contact AmSafe Bridport (details overleaf) to request the full Qualification Report and the Validation Reports. Are you focused on the right R? Reflectivity or R-value? Tyvek® Air Cargo Cover Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers offer multi-threat protection that helps reduce temperature excursions by providing: 22ºC Superior protection from solar radiation as a result of their unique reflective outer surface Excellent protection from ambient temperature extremes–hot and cold–without the weight or bulk of alternative covers Simply stated, Tyvek® Air Cargo Covers provide excellent ‘all-in-one’ protection against the threats of solar radiation Test conditions: covered pallets on simulated tarmac in Lakeland, FL, November 2012 at ~11 a.m. Full sun with and extreme ambient temperatures. ambient temperature at 20°C.

It is thought that the inherent cling force is due to the presence of a relatively high level of n-hexane extractibles in the LLDPE resin. CM < CM hs CM rs oo CM Q. Ill <erox Copy Centre 0 287 272 STRETCH WRAP FILM EXHIBITING INHERENT CLING This invention relates to stretch wrap thermoplastic films; methods of forming unitized goods or a plurality of goods, e.g., a pallet load, by application of stretch wrap film thereto; and to the stretch-wrapped units resulting therefrom. The invention is particularly concerned with a stretch wrap film comprising linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). s This invention seeks to provide a monolayer plastics stretch wrap film exhibiting significant cling on at least one of its major surfaces without the addition of a cling additive to the film.
