Blown and Cast stretch film – Best one to use? Stretch film comes in varying gauges, colors and can be used in numerous applications. The main variable and starting point for stretch films is blown versus cast. Blown stretch film, or blown stretch wrap as it's also known, is created by blowing heated resin out vertically into a bubble. The bubble is then transformed into rolls while it is cooled by the surrounding air. Cast stretch film, or cast stretch wrap as it's also known, is created by feeding a sheet of heated resin along a rolling path with chilled rollers. The cooling solidifies the film, and it is made into large rolls. Features and Benefits: Blown film is tougher and has less of a chance to puncture than cast. This occurs due to the slower cooling process, which allows the molecules in blown film to spread out as opposed to aligning in long lines like in cast. Blown film also has a higher level of cling than cast, making it stick to itse...

Spot Polyethylene activity improved, but fell short of exciting. Processors have been working down their inventories, only procuring minimally as needed while waiting for prices to continue lower. This trend might be coming to an end as downstream resin supplies have thinned substantially, and considering the proposed $.04/lb September decrease, contract PE prices are now down $.13/lb during 2015.
