Different raw materials such as low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or high carbon polyethylene (HDPE) are used to produce stretch film.These raw materials are mainly used to improve the flexibility, strength and elasticity of stretch film. The use of different raw materials in the production of stretch film can have a direct effect on the final thickness of the film. For example, the use of low density polyethylene (LLDPE) usually gives the stretch film more flexibility and can reduce its final thickness. On the other hand, the use of high-carbon polyethylene (HDPE) may give the stretch film more resistance and strength, which may lead to an increase in its final thickness. Therefore, the type of raw materials used in the production of stretch film can directly affect the thickness and other characteristics of the film.

In addition to the additives mentioned, there may be other additives for stretch that are used to improve certain properties such as water resistance, increased adhesion, increased flexibility, heat resistance or other physical and chemical properties.
Comparison of stretch nylons based on raw materials and thickness
raw materials used in the production of stretch nylons in roll polymer factory on the elasticity and efficiency of these products They have an important effect, and for this reason, the company’s engineers constantly monitor the quality of the products and check the standards required by the customers at each stage and deliver the final product according to the customer’s request. In fact, the tensile properties of stretch nylons mostly depend on factors such as the type of raw materials, production method, thickness and variety of polymer materials used. In general, polymer materials such as medium density polyethylene (MDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), rhombic polyethylene (LLDPE) and metallocene are among the materials used to produce stretch nylons.
- Plasticity of materials: Plasticity materials used in the composition of stretch nylons have a significant effect on their flexibility and elasticity. Materials such as LLDPE and Metallocene are preferred for the production of high-performance stretch nylons due to their high flexibility and better elasticity.
- Nylon thickness: The thickness of stretch nylons also affects their elasticity. Nylons that are produced with greater thickness usually have more resistance and elasticity.
- Production method: The production process can also affect the elastic properties of stretch nylons. The applied processing methods can be effective in improving the final quality and elasticity of the product.
- Other variables: Other factors such as the amount of additives, material formulation and production process conditions can also affect the elasticity of stretch nylons.

Frequently asked questions before ordering stretch
How should we use stretch for pallet packaging?
- Pallet preparation: Before packing, make sure the pallet is properly prepared. Ensure that the goods are placed on the pallet in an orderly and horizontal manner and that no part of them falls out of the edge of the pallet.
- Start packing: Start packing by placing the first stretch on the pallet. This will ensure that the stretch is properly attached to the pallet and the packaging will be more secure.
- Stretch wrapping: After the initial placement, gently wrap the stretch around the pallet and adjust as much as possible so that the goods are completely enclosed and there are no gaps.
- Strengthening sensitive points: If there are sensitive or vulnerable points, using stretch to strengthen and stabilize these points is very useful. You can cross the stretch through these points and strengthen the packaging.
- End of packing: After the stretch wrap is completely wrapped around the pallet, close it with tapes or stretch locks and make sure the packing is done safely and tightly.
- Final inspection: Finally, check the packed pallet and make sure that the goods are properly packed and there are no weak points or imperfections.
How do they calculate the price of stretch films and what factors are effective in pricing?
The price of stretch films is usually calculated by manufacturers or suppliers and is influenced by the following factors:
- Raw materials: The type and quality of raw materials used in the production of stretch film is very important. Stretch films are usually produced using polyethylene (PE), but the difference in quality and stability of raw materials can affect the price.
- Film thickness: Film thickness is one of the basic factors in determining the tensile strength and resistance of stretch film. Thicker films usually have a higher price, because they have more resistance and stability.
- The width and length of the film: The dimensions of the stretch film can also affect its price. Films with larger dimensions are usually more expensive.
- Special features: Some stretch films have special features such as anti-UV, waterproof, anti-static, etc., which may increase the price.
- Application: the type of application and purpose of using stretch film can also affect its price. For example, stretch films for food packaging may have a higher price.
