New Plastic Could Lighten The Load
New Plastic Could Lighten The Load
Plastic Film that handles heat better
Researchers at the University of Michigan are testing out new forms of plastic film that handle heat significantly better than existing films. This new process substitutes water during the process, helping to solidify the material. After spin casting, the resulting film brings the molecules closer together, allowing it to better conduct heat. Film that can handle heat better has a lot of potential in many industries, though this development will still need some time before it’s ready for the market.

New ASTM Test Method Improves Measurement Precision
New ASTM Test Method Improves Measurement Precision
New ASTM Standard D8136
A new ASTM standard may make plastic film measurement a more accurate task in the near future. ASTM standard D8136-17, developed by the organization’s committee on plastics, is said to handle measurements with increased accuracy while simultaneously being easier to use than existing methods of testing thickness. The organization believes that this new method can help in film commercial transactions, as its accuracy and ease of use will help put both the buyer and the seller on the same page. The standard is available for sale as a pdf from the ASTM website.

Wrapping Up Safe Shipping
Plastic Film stabilizes shipping loads and can save lives
In the shipping industry, plastic films are playing a bigger and bigger role to help meet the industry’s ever-changing needs. An added emphasis on safety has officials in both Europe and the United States more focused on load stability. Unstable loads put both people and products at risk, which is why Europe is creating new regulations to stabilize the shipping industry. Playing an important role of that is plastic film, which is being used to secure pallets within trucks. As these regulations advance, the need for stronger films increases, leading to more consistent films and better ways to measure them. This will continue to be the case, as North America follows Europe’s lead.

How Plastic Film is Improving Food Delivery
Polyethylene Plastic Film lets food delivery customers know if their order was tampered with
UPDATE 11/16/2017 - We've added a short video to our Films on Films page that shows off Seal-2-Go's tamper-proof technology!
Check it out here.
As third-party food delivery services, including Grubhub and OrderUp, continue to get more and more popular, new innovations in ensuring food quality and safety are changing the delivery market. Pan Pacific Manufacturing, Inc., already a supplier of plastic packaging in the restaurant business, recently launched a new line of products aimed at preventing tampering with food orders. The “Seal-2-Go” bags feature an adhesive seal, so restaurants can seal the food into the bag, which helps to keep it warm longer. The seal is tamper evident as well, so a customer will know if their delivery driver got hungry and stole a few fries from the bag. This adds an extra layer of protection for consumers, who can have the peace of mind knowing that their food was safely transported from the restaurant.
