BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - What is Cling Film Made of?
LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, October 15, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
Cling film - also
called plastic wrap - has to be pretty versatile. It should stretch a lot
without tearing, it should keep out the germs, and it has to seal in moisture
and aroma to keep those cold cuts from drying out and that chunk of French
cheese from smelling up the refrigerator. On top of that, the wrap has to
stick to the edge of the plate or the bowl. For many years, one plastic in
particular has been performing all of those chores perfectly - polyethylene,
or PE for short. In entertaining episodes our Chemical Reporter answers
questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in our everyday life.
