Research of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Stretch Films Based on Recycled Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

The research focused on investigating the physical and mechanical properties of stretch films containing recycled materials. The objective of the study was to examine how the use of recycled materials affects the structure and physical and mechanical properties of 5-layer stretch films. The results showed that incorporating up to 50% recycled materials in the stretch films can be a viable option for securing containers on pallets, provided that the film's composition is appropriately modelled using specific primary polymers in the film layers. The study employed extrusion methods to create the stretch films.
