Shrink Wrap Film
This also referred to as 'shrinkwrap' or shrink wrap film, is a plastic film made of polymers. Polymer, originally a Greek word, which roughly translated means 'many parts', was first coined by Jons Jakob Berzelius, in eighteen thirty three. The words definition and uses are very different today, in a modern world. Polyolefin is the most popular kind of shrink wrap. Although PVC and various other polymer compositions are available. Shrink wrap film can be manufactured to shrink bidirectional or in one direction. Known as mono-directional or unidirectional. Because they are all different, it is important to choose the right type for your packaging needs. The film is pre-stretched. So after it has been wrapped around an object, reheated and left to cool, it will shrink back to it's original format. Creating a tight seal wherever it has been placed. Manufacturers are constantly looking into ways of making the shrink wrap films ever more efficient.

What is the difference between plastic wrap and shrink wrap?
Plastic wrap is a thin, flexible material used for covering food containers or for wrapping food items to keep them fresh. Shrink wrap is a thicker, more rigid material used for wrapping and protecting items for shipping or storage. Shrink wrap shrinks when heat is applied, conforming tightly to the shape of the object.
How well can plastic shrink wrap tubing be recycled?
Because most plastic shrink wrap tubing is made of cardboard, they can recycled as paper. Simply place the tubing in a bin that is marked for paper recycling.
Why does plastic shrink when its cold outside?
When plastic is exposed to cold temperatures, the molecules in the plastic move more slowly, causing the material to contract or shrink. This happens because the colder temperature reduces the thermal energy of the molecules, leading them to move closer together and result in a smaller volume of the plastic.
Plastic surgery to shrink your forehead?

How do you shrink things?
Shrinking things involves reducing their size or dimensions. This can be done physically (e.g., using a heat source to shrink plastic) or digitally (e.g., scaling down images or documents on a computer). The method used to shrink something will depend on the material and desired outcome.
How do you connect wires using a heat shrink connector?
A heat shrink connector is a small tube of translucent plastic shrink wrap with a small collar of solder in the middle. That's what I think the question is about. What you do is butt joint the wires together then use a soldering iron to melt the small collar of solder,this is what attatches the wires together in a more permenant bond than shrinkwrap alone. Then use a heat gun or other flame (carefully) to shrink the wrap around the wires and insulation. A proper heat shrink gun can melt solder inside the shrink without damaging it. 3M makes one. Tyco Electronics also makes one. Check out DigiKey and enter part # CWT9001-ND They are used in aircraft regularly. For the record, heat shrink is not plastic (I suppose it could be, but I've never seen it in 'plastic') for the most part it is polyolefin and comes in several types, shrink ratio of 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 6:1.
Does plastic contract in heat?
Yes, plastic does contract in heat. When heated, the molecules in plastic gain energy and move more rapidly, causing the material to shrink or contract. This phenomenon is often observed when plastic items are exposed to high temperatures or during processes like molding and shrinking.
Where can one purchase a shrink wrap machine?
One can purchase a shrink wrap machine from Amazon, ebay and Shrink Wrap Machines. Amazon has a 24 inch one for $275 and a deluxe machine with heat gun for $307. A shrink wrap machine is used to wrap products such as DVDs, games, boxes and more.
