"Food film" refers to a variety of film materials used to package food to maintain its freshness, extend its shelf life and ensure food safety. These films usually have different characteristics and uses to meet the packaging needs of different kinds of food products. Here are several common types of food membranes and their uses:
Polyethylene thin film (PE Film):
Features: good flexibility, high transparency, strong waterproof performance.
Use: widely used in food packaging, such as plastic wrap, food bags, etc.
Polypropylene thin film (PP Film):
Characteristics: good heat resistance, high transparency.
Use: suitable for microwave oven heating food packaging, such as microwave food bags, hot sealing film, etc.
Polyester thin film (PET Film):
Characteristics: high strength, wear resistance, good transparency.
Use: commonly used in the production of composite film substrate, used for food packaging bags, etc.
PVC thin film (PVC Film):
Characteristics: good sealing and transparency.
Use: for heat shrink packaging, such as beverage bottle packaging, meat and cheese packaging, etc.
Polyvinylidene chloride film (PVDC Film):
Characteristics: Excellent barrier performance, can effectively prevent oxygen and water vapor through.
Use: for food packaging requiring high barrier performance, such as cooked food, frozen food, etc.
Nylon thin film (Nylon Film):
Characteristics: high strength, puncture resistance.
Use: for packing fragile or sharp foods, such as nuts, coffee beans, etc.
Aluminum foil composite film:
Features: excellent barrier performance and reflection performance.
Use: for highly moisture-proof, anti-oxidation food packaging, such as tea, coffee powder, etc.
Biodegradable thin film:
Characteristics: environmentally friendly and degradable.
Use: With increased environmental awareness, such films are increasingly being used in food packagin
