Film and Foil Wrapping and Accessories
- TLG® Waxfilm are flexible, semi-transparent thermoplastic film with a two-way stretch
- Despite off-gassing, it creates a tight moisture barrier that maintains a strong seal and does not release from glassware.
- Non-toxic and free of plasticizers, primarily composed of polyolefins and paraffin waxes, with good resistance to acids, alkalis, and some organic solvents—use with acetone, diethyl ether, or tetrachloride is not recommended.
- Reduces the risk of tampered data with an odorless, colorless, and semi-transparent covering.
- Due to the material composition and tight seal, it prevents moisture and volume loss.
- The material's flexibility and self-sealing properties allow it to cling to irregular shapes and surfaces.
- More than 200% of its original length is stretched
- Many polar substances, such as saline solutions, inorganic acids, and alkaline solutions, are resistant for up to 48 hours.
