FILM TYPES

1. REGULAR SHRINK FILM

Suitable for most applications, has good transparency and satisfactory durability

Is produced in the following forms:

  • SINGLE SIDED
  • DOUBLE (WITH RIGHT OPENING)
  • DOUBLE (WITH LEFT OPENING)
  • PIPE

We can have thickness from 20μm to 200μm and widths from 4cm to 130cm. Transparent or colored.

2. HEAVY DUTY SHRINK FILM

Film of exceptional durability with limited transparency, suitable for packets of higher weight where high transparency is not required such as water bottles, metallic instruments, car batteries etc.

3. PERFORATED SHRINK FILM

Film with small holes for that assist product breathability (where required)

4. ANTISTATIC SHRINK FILM

Film with full removal of static electricity and special add ins (antistatic antiblocking), suitable for secondary packaging or applications where the presence of static electricity creates problems.

5. FORT SHRINK FILM

Film with special add-ins that provide exceptional mechanical durability with very good transparency. In many cases we can lower the Films' thickness up to 30%, without diminishing the packaging durability while decreasing the cost per packaging unit.

6. SHRINK FILM OXIDO-BIODEGRADABLE

This specific film does not lack in durability nor mechanical properties from the normal film, since in order for the oxido-biodegradation process to take place, it requires sun exposure for four months.

  • The cost difference is negligible
  • Your clients will appreciate its properties
  • It does not change anything in the way you pack
WHAT IS OXIDO-BIODEGRADATION?

Biodegradation has become a must in a vast number of products that today's consumer uses, both as far as the product itself or its' packaging is concerned. The packaging in a number of products is nowadays to a great extent made of plastic material (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.), material with many advantages (good mechanical durability, protection from external conditions and so on) but also a big disadvantage, the very slow biological breakdown, hence its' natural recycling. Studies on this subject have concluded that by adding metallic ions to the polymers like polyethylene and polypropylene, their biological breakdown can be accelerated.

With the presence of oxygen the metallic ions act as catalysts to the molecular chain of the polymers.

At this initial phase, a chain reaction of oxidizing 'cuts' takes place that leads to their weakening and parting through light and heat.

At a later stage, soil microorganisms take over (microbes, fungus, etc.) and cause the polymers' breakdown to carbon dioxide, water and biomass.

Once the plastic material, which contains the proper added substance (Reverte), is exposed to light and heat, then the first phase starts. This phase lasts between 2 and 9 months depending on the type of material and the environmental conditions (light exposure, heat, etc.). The phase is known as 'waiting time'.

When the 'waiting time' ends, the material will commence the process of weakening. This phase lasts from 3 to 10 months depending on the environmental conditions and the type of material.

The final phase of biodegradation normally occurs after 6 to 24, again depending on the type of added substance (Reverte) and the environmental conditions.
