Fire and Rescue Services in Great Britain attended 212,500 fires in 2013-14. Fires are a particular risk in commercial and industrial buildings, where reliance on electrical appliances, automated processes and chemical storage makes fire more likely.
Currently, commercial buildings, non-domestic and multi-occupancy premises in England and Wales are required to complete a fire risk assessment carried out under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Fire Retardant Shrink Film can help to contribute towards fire risk assessment, protecting products from fire and heat damage.
Flame Retardant Shrink Film
Polythene UK are proud to be the first major distributor of Flame Retardant Shrink Film across the UK.
Most commonly, shrink film is used as an overwrapping for products prior to distribution, helping to ensure the final quality of the products when they reach their destination. DVDs, CDS, cartons, boxes and pallets are all typically shrink-wrapped to preserve their condition during storage and transportation. Flame Retardant Shrink Film has the added benefit of helping to protect products against the impact of fire damage.
Construction and scaffolding
Shrink film also plays an important role across a wide range of industrial and construction premises. Where buildings are compromised or incomplete, Flame Retardant Shrink Film can be used to seal openings, protecting internal structures and scaffolding from fire damage, weather and other environmental damage.
Our Flame Retardant Shrink Film is supplied on light, easy-to-carry rolls and is attached using our 115v electric crimping tool, which heat-seals the ends of the wrap safely and securely around its contents. Our shrink film can also be easily affixed using traditional shrink gun methods.
