It’s important to find the best material that you require to meet your exact specifications. There are many options available, including flame retardant, pharmaceutical bags, VCI, side-weld, and perforated – this makes it difficult for a buyer to weigh the advantages of every plastic film variation. Luckily, Marshall Plastic Film has the knowledge and experience necessary to help you in making the best possible decision. Our laboratory services provide you with extensive, on-site testing that will make your decision simple and clear. In this post, we will look at what we offer and how we can help you to make the best decision on what plastic materials and products you should use for your application.
Flame retardant plastic film use has been steadily increasing since its development. It is made by combining a retardant with polymers which will help resist ignition, suppress smoke, decrease the spread of flames, and stop the polymer in the plastic film from dripping. There are currently two common types of flame retardant additives: halogenated and non-halogenated.
Flame retardant plastic film works by inhibiting and delaying the spread of fire through suppression of chemical reactions within the film. At Marshall Plastic Film, we add a retardant to the polymers which increases resistance to ignition, reduces the spread of flames, suppresses smoke, and prevents the polymer in the film from dripping. The overall goal of flame retardant is to prevent or delay ignition and burning which gives people and animals, who are in proximity to the fire, time to escape safely. Besides allowing time for people and animals to flee, flame retardant plastic film also helps to limit property damage.
There are countless industries that use VCI bags, plastic film, and pharmaceutical bags to ensure protection of their products in shipping and storage. Most of our customers know that plastic packaging bags and plastic film can vary on many different levels and are not one size fits all. There are many different variations that use different materials and sizing depending on the needs of the customer. Using just the right size plastic packaging will ensure that you are not using more material than is necessary and driving up your costs.
LiquiPac bags, liners, film, and tubing are all an innovative and new way to handle the transportation, discharge, and storage of liquid products. LiquiPac liners are ideal for use with boxes, totes, drums, bags, and other FIBC containers. These LiquiPac offerings help manufacturers reduce and even completely eliminate expenses incurred from having to clean up leaking and contamination problems from liquid products.
It doesn’t seem like it would take a lot of thought or effort to select the right plastic film or plastic packaging, however, there are definitely more options than you may think. This is why it’s very important to work with an experienced and knowledgeable manufacturer. An experienced company will be able to work with you to determine what is going to work best for your product while making sure to be as cost effective as possible. In this post, we will look at the main three categories to look at when deciding what plastic film or packaging is right for you.
It's important to use the correct plastic packaging solution for your specific application. Whether you're in an industry that requires color coded packaging like the medical industry or you need extremely durable, flexible bags for industrial packaging, finding the right plastic bag is not always easy. We offer a wide array of plastic film and bags for every industry. In this post, we will briefly look at the different plastic packaging options we have available.
An autoclave is basically a heated pressure chamber. They're most commonly used in the medical industry to perform sterilization of medical devices. Autoclaves are able to sterilize equipment and supplies in autoclave bags by killing microorganisms with high pressure steam. Autoclave bags can withstand heat well over the 121℃ temperature used in autoclaving machines. In this post we'll go over the standard autoclave cycle which can vary based on the materials being sterilized.
Shrink bundling film, or shrink wrap as it is commonly referred, is used to securely package and protect products that are being distributed or displayed on retail shelves. Shrink wrap is a plastic material made of polymer film that shrinks up when heat is used on it. Even as other methods are being used, shrink wrap continues to be one of the most popular and cost effective way to protect and package products. Besides being cost effective, shrink wrap also helps eliminate paperboard and other materials from packaging systems in many different industries. Another great thing about shrink wrap is that it minimizes material use while increasing efficiency. Marshall Plastic Film’s shrink wrap is among the toughest and clearest looking in the industry.
