Heat Shrink Wrap Films and Enclosure Films: Applications and Benefits
Global Plastic Sheeting specializes in providing industrial-grade heat shrink wrap films and enclosure films, offering durable solutions for heavy-duty applications. Our primary focus is on supplying larger sheets, specifically in 9 mil and thicker varieties, including Fire Retardant versions for added safety. We also offer essential accessories such as Heat Shrink Wrap tape to complement your project needs.
What is Heat Shrink Wrap?
Heat shrink wrap is a versatile plastic film that shrinks tightly over the object it covers when heat is applied. This creates a secure, protective layer around the item, making it ideal for various industrial applications. The wrap is often used in environments where the material needs to be sealed against weather elements, UV rays, or even chemical exposure.
Key Features of Heat Shrink Wrap Films
- Durability: Our heat shrink wrap films are designed to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring the longevity of the covered items.
- Fire Retardant Options: We offer fire-retardant versions of our heat shrink wraps, providing an extra layer of protection in environments where fire hazards are a concern.
- UV Stabilization: These films are UV stabilized to protect against sunlight degradation, making them suitable for long-term outdoor use.
- Reinforcement: Some versions, like the Heat Shrink Reinforced VCI/UV, come with reinforced fibers that offer enhanced tear resistance and durability.
Heat Shrink Reinforced-VCI/UV: A Superior Choice
Heat Shrink Reinforced VCI/UV is a 3-ply reinforced clear laminate that offers unique features for specialized applications. This film not only shrinks to form a tight seal but also provides anti-corrosive properties and UV stabilization, making it a superior choice for protecting valuable equipment and structures.
Key Features:
- Reinforcement: High-strength cords provide uniform resistance to tearing, with over 50 strands per square foot, ensuring durability even under heavy loads.
- Volatile Corrosive Inhibitor (VCI): The inner layer is impregnated with VCI, protecting both coated and uncoated ferrous metals from corrosion.
- UV Stabilization: Both inner and outer layers are UV stabilized, making this wrap ideal for prolonged outdoor exposure.
Applications of Heat Shrink Wrap Films
Heat shrink wrap films are used across a variety of industries for different purposes. Here are some common applications:
- Construction Enclosures: Create temporary enclosures around buildings under construction to protect against weather and dust.
- Industrial Equipment Protection: Cover and protect heavy machinery or equipment during storage or transportation, especially for items exposed to the elements.
- Marine Industry: Shrink wrap boats and marine equipment to safeguard against moisture, UV rays, and corrosion during off-season storage.
- Scaffold Wrapping: Protect scaffolding and work areas from wind, rain, and debris during construction or renovation projects.
- Aircraft and Vehicle Protection: Use heat shrink wrap to protect aircraft, vehicles, and other large structures during storage or transit.
- Mothballing: When equipment or facilities need to be preserved and protected from environmental damage for extended periods, heat shrink wrap provides a durable solution.
