Standard stretch film works well indoors, but once products are exposed to sunlight, outdoor storage, or long-distance transportation, UV radiation becomes a serious risk.
This is where UV-resistant stretch film makes a difference.
What Is UV-Resistant Stretch Film?
UV-resistant stretch film is produced by adding UV stabilizers or UV absorbers into the film structure during extrusion.
These additives:
absorb or block ultraviolet radiation
slow down polymer degradation
protect both the film and the wrapped goods
Key Benefits of UV Stretch Film
1. Protects Cargo from Sun Damage
UV radiation can cause fading, aging, or material degradation. UV stretch film reduces exposure and protects sensitive goods.
2. Maintains Film Strength Over Time
Standard film may become brittle or lose tension under sunlight. UV-stabilized film maintains stretch, cling, and puncture resistance.
3. Ideal for Outdoor Storage & Long Transit
Commonly used for:
building materials
chemical drums
agricultural products
export pallets stored outdoors
4. Customizable Protection Period
UV resistance can be designed for 30, 60, 90 days or longer, depending on application needs.
Conclusion
UV-resistant stretch film is not about thicker film — it’s about functional protection.
For industries with outdoor exposure or extended logistics cycles, choosing UV-stabilized film means lower damage risk, fewer claims, and more reliable packaging performance.
