Q: Do I need a UVI Stretch Film?

A: UVI additives can be expensive. If you plan to store the film outside for any length of time, you need a UVI film. Most UVI films will last for an average of 3-6 months. It requires high concentrations of UVI to guarantee a film to last 12 months, which can increase the cost significantly. A UVI Film that will last 9 months from September to May, could only last 3 months during June, July and August. A UVI film that will last 6-9 months in Canada, may only last 3 months in Florida. Some UVI's can protect the product, but they have limited use and will only last for a short period of time. The best protection for the product is an opaque film or bag. A trained sales rep can help you analyze your specific application needs.
