Cling film, is a versatile packaging tool that is commonly used for both industrial purposes and in-home applications. Industrial cling wrap can be used on anything from pallets to boxes, while food grade cling film is often seen on produce, meat and poultry, and even on many of your leftovers at home. When using cling wrap material that is specifically designed for food use, you’ll be able to easily seal your containers and trays closed in order to keep produce and other edibles fresh for extended periods of time.
There are actually very few plastic wrap ingredients. Traditionally, it was constructed out of a poly material called Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVC). Today, we more commonly see clean wrap cling film manufactured from Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) material. PVC worked very well for many years because it offers phenomenal cling capabilities, but LDPE is now the more popular choice because it is safer for both the user and the environment.
