Best Answer

Plastic wrap like saran wrap is made from polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) that has plasticizers like DEHA added to it. It is characterized by having a high tensile strength -6.9 to 82.8 megapascals (MPa); caused by the coiling of the polymers; which adds to the clinginess of the material. The plasticizers make the material stickier, so that it clings easier.
It is Saran Wrap, otherwise known as cling film ! It is used to wrap up leftover food before putting it in the fridge !
