#

At Matila, we are dedicated to providing advanced solutions for the production of high-quality cling and wrapping films. Our expertise lies in engineering reliable blown film extrusion machines that are designed to enhance productivity and dependability in stretch film manufacturing. Explore our range of stretch film extruders to find the right fit for your production requirements.

Understanding Stretch Film
#

Stretch film is a highly elastic and flexible plastic film, primarily used for packaging and bundling a variety of items. Its key characteristic is its ability to stretch and tightly secure products, offering robust protection and stability. Typically, stretch films are produced from LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) or LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene), making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Single-layer vs. Double-layer Stretch Film: Key Considerations
#

Our CT-SW series encompasses both single-layer and double-layer stretch film extrusion machines, each tailored to address varying market needs. Here are the main differences:

  • Market Demand: Single-layer stretch film is adhesive on both sides, while double-layer stretch film is adhesive on only one side. The optimal choice depends on the specific requirements of your target market.
  • Glue Cost Efficiency: Single-layer stretch film production involves mixing 5% glue with 50kg of material, resulting in 2.5kg of glue used. In contrast, double-layer stretch film uses two extruders (25kg each), with only one extruder’s material mixed with 5% glue, reducing glue usage to 1.25kg. This makes double-layer production more cost-effective regarding glue consumption.
  • Raw Material Flexibility: Double-layer stretch film manufacturing allows for a broader selection of raw materials, enabling further optimization of material costs.

Applications of Stretch Film
#

Stretch film is valued for its versatility and protective qualities across various industries:

  1. Packaging Protection: Commonly used in industrial and logistics sectors to bundle multiple items, preventing movement or damage during transportation.
  2. Luggage Protection: Frequently applied at airports to wrap luggage, shielding suitcases from scratches and damage during transit.
  3. Dust-proof and Moisture-proof: Acts as a barrier against dust and moisture, safeguarding items from environmental exposure.
  4. Food Packaging: Essential in the food industry for maintaining freshness and preventing spoilage or moisture loss.
