What Is a Protective Film Made Of?
Protective film is like a superhero cloak for different surfaces, so its ingredients vary depending on where it is used. Let's break down some common materials, mostly plastic, that make protective film:
1. Low-density polyethylene (polythene films): These are super stretchy and bendy, plus they are really light. They are great for when you need extra flexibility.
2. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): This material is smooth and has more stretch compared to other. It is perfect for safeguarding metal surfaces because of its elasticity.
3. Polypropylene: Unlike the super stretchy ones, polypropylene is less bendy but can handle high temperatures without losing its shape. It is tough and durable.
4. Polyolefin: These are a great fit for glass or painted metal. They come in different types, each tailored for specific needs like packaging or protection.
5. Co-extruded, low-density polyethylene: This is like the fancy version of polythene. It gives an extra layer of protection by using clever layering techniques.
6. Paper: Yep, good old paper! It is used when you need protection against really gentle bumps and scratches.
So, depending on what you need to protect, there's a special film made just for it!
