PVC heat shrink film

PVC heat shrink film, whose full name is "Poly Vinyl Chloride" shrink film, is a type of shrink film produced from polymer through a machine-calendering or film-blowing process. PVC heat shrink film can be used for products of various shapes and sizes, suitable for all types of packaging with high requirements, helping products become more valuable and attractive in the eyes of users.

The softness or hardness of PVC film depends on the content of plasticizers. Commonly used plasticizers are DOP, DINP, TXIB, Hexamoll DINCH, etc. Plasticizers added to PVC resin will reduce the intermolecular bonds due to polarity, making the PVC resin softer.

1.1 Types of PVC shrink film today

Based on the plasticizer content when producing shrink film and customer usage needs, PVC shrink film is divided into the following 2 types:

a) Hard PVC shrink film

It is a type of shrink film produced mainly from PVC resin pellets and other additives (No plasticizers). 

Due to the hard characteristics of PVC shrink film, it is extremely durable and is used as a transmission material in the machinery equipment industry, such as: used as water pipes, oil and fuel pipes, dilute solutions, etc. Helping machinery equipment avoid oxidation, rust...

b) Soft PVC shrink film

It is a type of shrink film produced from PVC resin pellets with a high plasticizer content to create toughness and softness for the product. The higher the plasticizer content, the more flexible and stretchable the shrink film.

With the advantages of excellent flexibility and stretchability, PVC shrink film is used in almost all manufacturing and packaging industries. Especially, PVC shrink film is also used to make labels for bottle product lines, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, etc. 

1.2 Characteristics of PVC shrink film

• Good toughness, not easily broken
• High strength and extremely good impact resistance
• Can be bent
• PVC has high insulation properties and can be used as an insulation product
• High gloss and high shrinkage help product packaging designs using shrink film become more luxurious

1.3 Pros and cons of PVC shrink film

For any product, you need to learn about its pros and cons to make the most suitable choice for yourself. Join Hoang Phuc Pack to learn about the pros and cons of PVC shrink film.

a) Pros:

• Very high dust resistance and waterproofing, ensuring the quality of the product inside when using shrink film
• Increases tightness when packaging because PVC shrink film is extremely tough
• Extremely diverse, with many designs and sizes, suitable for all types of products
• Promotes and affirms the product brand through label designs and outer packaging
• Low cost, suitable for all businesses and users

b) Cons:

• The plasticizer content determines the quality of the shrink film, so sometimes products with special customer requirements need to be newly produced, as standard items are not usually available, and customers will spend a little time testing the sample before mass production. Although it takes a little time, the quality of the finished product will be guaranteed, meeting the specific needs of each customer.
• Poor thermal stability, so after using for a long time, the heat resistance of the shrink film decreases, leading to deformation and color changes.

1.4 Applications of PVC shrink film
