What is Shrink Wrap

Shrink wrap is a low density polyethylene (LDPE) film made from a fractional low melt resin and other additives of ultra violet (UVI), ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), color concentrates, etc.. The type of resins used and the extrusion process employed (blown film vs. cast film) in the manufacture of the film determine the quality of the shrink film. Other variables present in shrink films are:
anti-static agents which can be introduced to minimize static elecricity in polyethylene film,
balanced shrinkage characteristic which ensures that the shrinkage in one principal direction is not more than one and one-half (1 1/2) the shrinkage in the other principal direction. This characteristic prevents the film from “puckering” when heated and cooled.
Anti-Block Additive can be added to polyethylene in minute quantities to reduce the tendency of a layer of film to stick to another layer of film or other surfaces.
Other variables found in polyethylene shrink films are impact strength (the ability to withstand shock loading), initial tear resistance (the grams per mil thickness required to start a tear) and heat sealability (the quality of a heat-sealed seam of two layers of film).

Using patented procedures and an exceptional plastic wrap of extraordinary strength and durability, our technicians provide on-site wrapping services to commercial, industrial and residential customers.

Let us Shrink Wrap your Vessel

The key to this unique wrapping service is our shrink film. When properly applied by our skilled personnel, this high quality, heavy plastic material provides a remarkable protective cover around an object. The finished product provides a form fitting, impenetrable barrier that resists wind (extremely important during transport), rain and other elements. Because the cover is heat sealed, it affords complete protection even under the most adverse environmental conditions. And although it provides an excellent protective seal, this unique wrap can be removed in minutes.
