Polyethylene film is actively used for packaging products and goods
The main function of polyethylene film is covering and protective. It is used for packaging and covering a wide variety of materials. The broadest application of polyethylene film is in agriculture for covering greenhouses. In this industry, polyethylene film has acquired a second name – greenhouse film. To increase its strength when covering greenhouses, light-stabilized elements are added to its composition during manufacturing.
Also in agriculture, polyethylene film is used for soil steaming and mulching. In addition, it performs hydrolyzing functions in agricultural storage facilities and is actively used as a packaging material.
The popularity of polyethylene film is due to its many functions and properties, as well as its low cost. It is also actively used for packaging goods of various sizes: food products, goods from numerous industries, feed, fertilizers, hygiene products, medical preparations, furniture, construction goods, and clothing.
The second industry after agriculture where polyethylene film is widely used is the food industry. Here it helps keep food products clean, protect them from harmful microorganisms, and preserve freshness.
Polyethylene film is produced in different formats and sizes. The width of its web can be almost any. When packaging goods in batches, film with the largest web width is used.
Polyethylene film is quite widely used today in construction and repair work for covering furniture and protecting floors from dirt, packaging building materials, as well as for thermal insulation of roofs and attics. In addition, it has waterproofing properties and helps protect basements and other rooms from unwanted moisture.
The thickness of polyethylene film can vary from 20 to 200 micrometers. Depending on this, its protective properties and strength increase or decrease. To give polyethylene film special qualities, various substances are added to its composition, which help it become stronger, more durable, resistant to sunlight, moisture, and dirt.
