PE film is also called stretch film, stretch film, and stretch film. PE film is mainly widely used in centralized winding packaging of various goods. It can reduce the damage and collapse of the goods during the transportation process. The goods can be waterproof, dustproof, and highly transparent when packed with PE stretch film, and the varieties of the packaged goods can be easily distinguished.
What is PE Protection Tape?
From metal smooth surfaces to rough surfaces to curved surfaces, it is used in the surface protection of diversified products. No glue residue.
PE (Polyethylene) is the simplest polymer organic compound, and it is the most widely used polymer material in the world today. PE protective film is based on special polyethylene (PE) plastic film and is divided into high-density polyethylene protective film, medium-density polyethylene, and low-density polyethylene according to different densities. The biggest advantage of PE protective film is that the protected product is not contaminated during production, processing, transportation, storage, and use. The biggest advantage of PE protective film is that the protected product will not be polluted, corroded, or scratched during production, processing, transportation, storage, and use, and protect the original smooth and shiny surface, thereby improving product quality and market competitiveness.
PE film is an industrial film product, which has the characteristics of toughness, puncture resistance, high tensile strength, large elongation, good self-adhesion, and high transparency. The PE film is mainly mixed and extruded from several different polyene resins. It has puncture resistance, super strength, and high performance. It can wrap the goods stacked on the pallet to make the packaging more stable and tidier and has a super high performance. The strong waterproof effect is widely used.
PE stretch film is non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless, and can meet the requirements of food hygiene performance. It does not react with moisture, grease, compounds, etc., is insoluble in most solvents at room temperature, and can withstand low temperatures of -70°C. Good weldability, good permeability to oxygen and carbon dioxide, and poor permeability to water vapor.
As the density increases, the mechanical properties, and barrier properties will increase accordingly, and the heat resistance is good. Polyethylene’s of the same density have different properties due to different film-forming processes. This is because the drooling method can quickly cool, low crystallinity, high transparency, and low turbidity, but the molecular arrangement tends to be more irregular, so the barrier property is small, that is, the transmittance is large, the elongation is low, and tear resistance is low. Untreated PE film is a more difficult material to print. This is because polyethylene is non-polar, chemically stable, insoluble in most solvents, has a weak adsorption force on ink, and is not firm after drying. Therefore, the PE film needs to be treated for printability before or during printing.

What Kind of Packaging Can PE Film be Applied to?
- Pallet packaging: Wrap the goods on the pallet to form a whole to prevent loosening, collapse, and deformation during logistics and transportation; and the functions of waterproof and dustproof.
- Carton packaging: The use of wrapping film as a packaging film can protect the carton from rain and wetness, and at the same time avoid the loss and damage of scattered objects inside the carton caused by violent express delivery.
- Machine cover: Machines that are used irregularly can be wrapped with 2-3 layers of wrapping film to prevent the machine from rusting due to long-term placement, and have a dust-proof effect.
- Special-shaped product packaging: It is impossible to customize the fixed PE packaging film when packaging large-scale special-shaped products. At this time, wrapping film can be used for packaging, multi-angle, and all-round packaging without dead ends, to meet your perfect packaging needs.
- Product surface protection: Because the wrapping film has good self-adhesion, it will not form glue residue on the wrapped object. It can be attached to smooth surfaces such as glass, building materials, ceramics, doors, windows, etc. to prevent being scratched by sharp objects.
