LDPE shrink-wrap can be made “non-flammable” or “flame retardant” by adding specific agents during the extrusion or coextrusion process, such as antimony and other aluminium trihydrate compounds.
Flame-retardant film is added to the other heat-shrinkable films in our range, providing you with a complete solution for the sector in which you operate.
This is what we would call “fire resistant”, a quality which lasts indefinitely.
We have a wide range of fireproof films with widths ranging from 4 to 15 m, lengths from 30 to 50 m and thicknesses from 180 to 300 µ*, made-to-measure products available to order.
