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.

Often used on building sites, fire-retardant shrink film ensures a safe working environment that complies with standards.
« Flame retardant” film meets standard classification requirements to be classified as “B1” in accordance with European standards (EN) or the equivalent “M1”, in accordance with French standards (NF).
LDPE “flame retardant” shrink-wrap is used and shrunk in the same way as conventional flammable LDPE (“D” or “M4”) shrink-wrap, but its cost is significantly higher.
It is often used as a cover or temporary partition for premises under construction, where the use of tools and heating equipment may inadvertently cause a fire.
Insurance companies may require the use of this type of film for certain applications and a test certificate from an official laboratory.
The fire resistant shrink film wil not protect totally the wrapped product but it will delay fire and heat spread. Allowing emergency services and firemen to arrive and put the fire out.
Flame-retardant shrink wrap prevent damage that is too extensive.
