Stretch Films
Wrapping film: A competitive edge on protection
With our polyethylene stretch films for manual and machine wrap films, you can protect goods in storage and transport. Stretch film traditionally used in protecting pallets of goods through storage and distribution has become more effective and better equipped to work with converters’ high-speed machines. The difference is that core layers are now often based on high-performance polymers. These important details deliver strong benefits across the value chain.

- Improvements also reduce potential of injury to operators
Why work with Dow?
Excellent processability and flexibility are important, and the industry is constantly looking for ways to create stronger, but thinner films. Through collaboration at our Pack Studios we can help you to design, develop and test SWF, resulting in improved pallet protection, improved mechanical behavior and increased sustainability. We even have a portfolio of resins designed to suit different packaging needs, like ELITE™ AT Enhanced Polyethylene Resins for downgauging or AFFINITY™ Polyolefin Plastomers for superior cling performance.
