Where is PE cling film used?

The development prospects of the PE plastic wrap industry are very promising, as it brings numerous benefits to businesses when used, and thus is highly favored by customers. To familiarize everyone with it, let's explore where PE plastic wrap is used. We hope this can help more people.

Nowadays, many people are unaware of some basic information about PE plastic wrap. Therefore, as a manufacturer, it is necessary for us to briefly explain that PE plastic wrap actually has certain oxygen permeability and moisture impermeability, which can block dust in the air and extend the shelf life of food. This is actually very common in households. Due to its waterproof properties, it is very suitable for storing fruits and vegetables with high water content. However, in daily life, people often use it to wrap leftovers and meat. Cooked, hot, and greasy foods are not suitable for storage with plastic wrap. Because these foods come into contact with plastic film, it is easy for the chemical components contained in the material to volatilize and dissolve into the food, which is detrimental to health. Simply put, PE plastic wrap is a type of plastic packaging product, usually made from ethylene as the base material through polymerization. Nowadays, this type of product can be divided into three categories. For example, one is polyethylene, abbreviated as PE; another is polyvinyl chloride, abbreviated as PVC; and the third is polyvinylidene chloride, abbreviated as PVDC. It is particularly suitable for microwave food heating, refrigerator preservation, and fresh food conditioning packaging.

PE plastic wrap is widely used for food packaging in household life, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, and industrial production. PE plastic wrap is primarily used for food packaging. The thin films we commonly use for fruits and vegetables, including semi-finished products purchased at supermarkets, are also used for food packaging, but they pose certain risks to human health. Therefore, they are mainly used for packaging cooked foods, ham, and other products. In fact, when used, PE plastic wrap has characteristics such as good transparency, high viscosity, good elasticity, and resistance to breaking, but these characteristics are all based on its significant harm to humans. Additionally, it has good freshness retention, is strong and easy to apply, and can prevent moisture evaporation. It is superior to PVC food film in terms of heat resistance and safety. Nowadays, it has a certain degree of breathability, which limits moisture loss, adjusts the oxygen and moisture content around food, and to a certain extent, blocks dust and bacterial contamination, thereby extending the freshness period of food. Foods that dissolve in water or oil above 60°C should not be stored in PE plastic wrap, so avoid using it to store cooked foods and foods with high oil content.

After the introduction mentioned above, we have gained a deeper understanding of where PE cling film is used. We will no longer feel unfamiliar when encountering it in the future, and there will be fewer issues during its use.
