LLDPE Stretch Film- Linear Low Density Polyethylene stretch film. A plastic that is preferred in a variety of film due to its toughness, stretchability, and relative transparency.
Film Force- Refers to the amount of tension applied to the film as the film is applied to the load.
Film Memory- The ability of the film to return to its pre-stretched form. This enables the film to maintain a tight load during transportation.
Film Tail- The start and end pieces of stretch film applied to the load. Generally these pieces are cut off later.
Gauge- A measurement used to measure film thickness or caliper. One gauge is equal to .254 microns. Microns are another common form of film measurement.
Gloss- The amount of light reflected from a film`s surface. Cast stretch films tend to have a higher gloss than blown stretch films.
Haze- Refers to lack of clarity in a film. Blown stretch films commonly have more haze than cast stretch films due to crystallization during the manufacturing process.
Metallocene- A compound used to make a new form of stretch film. Metallocene stretch films offer increased puncture resistance and many other useful benefits.
Microns- A unit of measurement commonly used to measure the thickness of a film. A micron is equal to one millionth of a meter. One gauge is equal to 254 microns.
Over wrap- The amount of stretch film applied over the top of the load. It is used to provide a downward force on the load.
