PVC Food Film

Food packaging is one of the key elements that protects food quality, extends shelf life and provides ease of use. As a common packaging material, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) food film has excellent transparency, flexibility and sealing properties, making it a popular choice in the food packaging industry.

The main production materials of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) food film:

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) substrate: PVC is a polymer material that is widely used in food packaging because it can effectively protect food from the external environment. Has good transparency, chemical resistance and mechanical strength.

Plasticizers: PVC often requires the addition of plasticizers to increase its flexibility. The addition of plasticizers makes PVC easier to process into films and increases its softness when wrapping food.

Stabilizer: In order to improve the heat resistance and antioxidant properties of PVC Food Film, stabilizers are usually added during production. This helps ensure that food films maintain their physical and chemical properties during packaging and storage.

Key characteristics of PVC food film:

Transparency: PVC food film is preferred for its excellent transparency. This allows consumers to clearly see the food inside the package, increasing the appeal of the product.

Flexibility: The addition of plasticizer gives PVC food film good flexibility, making it suitable for food packaging of various shapes and sizes.

Sealing: PVC food film has strong sealing, which can prevent the entry of external air and moisture, thereby extending the shelf life of food.

Ease of processing: Due to the ease of processing of PVC, manufacturers of PVC food cling film can process this material in a variety of ways, including film blowing, extrusion and heat sealing, to meet different packaging needs.

Economical: PVC is a relatively affordable packaging material, making it an acceptable choice for both manufacturers and consumers.

In the food field, common application scenarios of PVC food film:

Food packaging: PVC food film is often used to package various foods, such as meat, dairy products, candy, pastries, etc. It can provide food preservation, moisture-proof, anti-oxidation and protect food from external contamination.

Plastic wrap: PVC food film can be used to wrap food to form a plastic wrap, which helps extend the shelf life of food and prevent food from losing water and oxidizing.

Delicatessen packaging: For foods that require short-term storage, such as deli and fast food, PVC food film is an economical and affordable packaging option.

Frozen food packaging: PVC food film is also used in frozen food packaging because it can resist low temperatures and maintain the quality and taste of food.

Takeaway packaging: For takeaway food, PVC film bags can provide a layer of protection to ensure the food stays fresh during transportation.

Pastry and pastry packaging: PVC food film is also very common in pastry and pastry packaging, which can maintain the appearance and taste of the product.
