Shrink wrap can also have 'unusual' applications in a variety of projects.

For example, in the film industry, shrink wrap can be used for wall and ceiling panels using white or clear shrink wrap which can then painted. End results have not only shown this technique to be highly effective, but results in significant time and cost savings.

Shrink wrap has also been used in cases where fragile equipment has had to be heli- lifted on to a site and the equipment too fragile to withstand the down draft from the helicopter rotors. Wrapping the equipment in Shrink wrap solved the problem!

In situations where a barrier is required (containment) it is most effective due to the ease with which the barrier can constructed. Architectural installations and building claddings.

Shrink wrap is ideal for short or long term storage applications. Whether for Marine, Aircraft or Industrial applications, it enables items to be stored for long periods outside so freeing up expensive inside space. It is an deal solution for winter or long term storage or even mothballing items of all sizes. To help prevent corrosion from corrosive gases and the off gassing of wooden pallets Intercept Technology should be used.In marine applications tarpaulins are frequently used but require continuous attention due to rain, wind and UV damage, which results in puddling, snow build ups. The loose tarpaulin that results then damages the item it was supposed to protect! Shrink Wrap removes these problems. Access for inspection to the inside of the cover can also be provided by the use of zipper doors.

Available in white, blue and clear.

Blue is generally used in storage applications in colder environments as the blue film absorbs the heat of the sun which promotes air circulation and reduces condensation problems within the cover.

White shrink wrap reflects the heat of the sun keeping the inside of the cover cool. As a result items being shipped are generally wrapped in white film.

Clear film is usually only used when it is necessary to see the items under the wrap.

Typically available in 6,7,8 and 9 mil thicknesses. Heavier gauge 10 and 12 mil available on special order. Widths from 14' to 40' with lengths from 70' to 150'.

Intercept shrink wrap has been developed by Bell Labs specifically to help prevent corrosion occurring. For more information on Intercept shrink wrap see 'Anti-corrosion' or go direct to the 'Intercept' web site .

Shrink wrap also provides an ideal solution to the problem of keeping items 'as new' during shipping. It keeps out not only dirt, bugs, and the general grime from shipping, whether by sea or road, but also helps prevent corrosion when 'Intercept Technology' is used. For very valuable items such as helicopters shrink wrap is ideal when shipping by road or sea, as not only is the 'paint job' protected but corrosive salt is kept out sensitive electronics.
