Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wrapping film, more particularly, it relates to a stretch wrapping film for transportation packaging and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of modern logistics and warehousing industry, the stretch wrapping film for transportation packaging has become a key material for fixing, protecting and unitizing goods due to its excellent stretch performance, self-adhesion and cost-effectiveness.

[0003] Traditional stretch wrapping film is usually made of linear low-density polyethylene as the main raw material through blow molding or casting process, which has high elongation and puncture resistance, and can effectively prevent damage of goods caused by vibration, friction or moisture during transportation.

[0004] During the packaging process, the stretch wrapping film is pre-stretched to a certain ratio by an automatic wrapping machine to reduce the packaging time and the use amount of the stretch wrapping film. However, the traditional stretch wrapping film is prone to stress relaxation or rupture under high stretching rate of the automatic wrapping machine, resulting in a decrease in the binding force of heavy goods.

[0075] Meanwhile, compared with Examples 2 and 3, Example 1 has higher tensile strength and elongation at break. This shows that the inclusion of 44.6% of metallocene polyethylene in the mixed material in the total raw material for preparing the stretch wrapping film for transportation packaging can improve the mechanical properties of the stretch wrapping film for transportation packaging.

This shows that when the metallocene polyethylene has a melt flow rate of 1.0-3.5 g / 10 min at 190℃ / 2.16 kg in the total raw materials for preparing the stretch wrapping film for transportation packaging of the present application, the tensile strength and elongation at break of the stretch wrapping film for transportation packaging can be improved, so that after stretching at a high stretching rate on an automatic wrapping machine, stress relaxation or breakage is less likely to occur, and the stretch wrapping film still has good binding force for heavy goods.

[0106] Compared to the stretch wrapping films prepared in Comparative Examples 3-4, the stretch wrapping film of Example 1 has a relative increase of 39.19-48.95% in transverse tensile strength, a relative increase of 25.94-32.77% in longitudinal tensile strength, a relative increase of 20.08-21.36% in transverse elongation at break, and a relative increase of 16.78-17.65% in longitudinal elongation at break. This shows that by controlling the amount of metallocene polyethylene added in the total raw materials for preparing the stretch wrapping film for transportation packaging of the present application, the tensile strength and elongation at break of the stretch wrapping film for transportation packaging can be improved.
