Mainly to do with charges. The cling film is very electrostatic so anything that is also very charged - like metal with free/de-localised electrons - it will stick to better than those less charged - like plastics. This is also why it sticks to itself - very annoyingly!
Hope this was helpful!

Does plastic have certain properties that made oil to cling on it?
yes
What is cultural inertia?
Cultural inertia is the tendency for a group of people to cling to traditions and ways of thinking that have outlived their usefulness even when better ways are presented.
What is the thickness of cellophane wrap?
Cellophane wrap (also known as cling film, plastic wrap or by the brand name 'Saran Wrap') has a thickness of around 12.7 microns. In inches, this is 1/2000 inch.
Is cling film a good conductor?
No.
Is cling film the same as cellophane?
Yes

Is cling film made out of polyethylene?
Yes, cling film is typically made out of polyethylene, which is a type of plastic. Polyethylene is popular for cling film production because it is flexible, transparent, and has good cling properties.
Does plastic have certain properties that made oil to cling on it?
yes
What is a good cling wrap alternative for reducing plastic waste in the kitchen?
A good cling wrap alternative for reducing plastic waste in the kitchen is beeswax wraps. Beeswax wraps are reusable, biodegradable, and can be used to cover food just like cling wrap.
Cling Wrap or Generic Plastic Wrap You Be The Judge?
Every day you reach for the kitchen plastic wrap, to cover a bowl of salad or wrap up some sandwiches. As a responsible person, is it better for you to buy brand name or whatever is cheapest? Since you toss it anyway, wouldn't cheaper be better? Before you make your decision, try out both kinds. Is the Cling Wrap brand significantly better? If so, is it worth the extra cents? You be the judge.
Is an cling flim a conductor of electricity?
No, it is a plastic. Plastics do not conduct electricity.
What is cling wrap?
Cling wrap, also known as plastic wrap or cling film, is a thin plastic film typically used for wrapping food items to keep them fresh. It adheres to the surface of the item using static electricity, creating a seal that helps prevent air and moisture from reaching the food.
Is cling film a thermosetting?
No, cling film is not a thermosetting material. Thermosetting materials are plastics which harden irreversibly when heated, while cling film is a thermoplastic material that softens when heated and hardens when cooled.
Why does cling film stick better to glass than metal?
Cling film, also known as plastic wrap, typically adheres better to glass surfaces because they are smoother and have fewer irregularities than metal surfaces. The smooth surface of glass allows the cling film to form a stronger bond through electrostatic forces, making it stick better. Metal surfaces, on the other hand, are usually more textured and can have a lower surface energy, resulting in weaker adhesion between the cling film and the metal.
Is the cling wrap a conductor or insulator?
Cling wrap is an insulator, meaning it does not conduct electricity. It is made of materials that do not allow the flow of electrical current through them.
How does static cling work and what causes it to occur on certain materials?
Static cling occurs when two materials rub against each other, causing a transfer of electrons. This transfer creates an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the materials sticking together. Certain materials, like synthetic fabrics, are more prone to static cling because they do not conduct electricity well, allowing the charges to build up and create static electricity.
