What is Self-Adhesive Collision Wrap?

Collision Wrap (a.ka. windshield wrap or wreck wrap) allows the user to quickly and easily cover damaged areas with a watertight and UV resistant plastic film barrier. Self-Adhesive Collision Wrap is coated on one side with a high-tack adhesive and adheres to clean and dry surfaces such as metal, glass, or plastic, and to interior surfaces including fabric.

Collision wrap comes in four different roll widths: 18”, 24”, 36”, and 48” with lengths ranging from 100’ - 300’.

Pro Tip: While collision wrap can be used on interior surfaces it is not recommended for prolonged use. Mr. Shrinkwrap professionals advise not to leave the vehicle in direct sun or other hot environments to avoid any adhesive residue being left behind.

Who Benefits from Using Collision Wrap?

Collision wrap is primarily used by salvage companies, auto body repair businesses, dealerships, insurance agencies, and the trucking industry. By using collision wrap the value of the vehicle or other damaged equipment is preserved and is protected against further damage.

Collision wrap is especially useful when transporting a wrecked vehicle from one location to another. Depending on the type of damage, collision wrap prevents glass or other debris from falling off the vehicle and onto the road. It also helps keep loose parts from becoming dislodged and falling off during transit.

Collision wrap is also used while a vehicle or other equipment is being repaired but the damaged areas might be exposed to the elements including rain, dirt, snow, mildew, rust, or repair shop debris. While collision wrap is a temporary solution it is highly effective.

Key Features

• Tough film
• High-tack self-adhesive
• Easy application
• See-through clear plastic
• 4 MIL thickness

Collision wrap keeps damaged vehicles and equipment safe from additional deterioration. Be sure to order your supply today!

To protect the surface of nearly anything with non-see-through film, try using Multi-Purpose Surface Protection Film instead. It offers a lot of the same great qualities and temporary protection but is made for new items and can be applied to metal, plastic, glass, fiberglass, and vinyl.

Myth: Winter weather has no impact on the function of a propane tank.

Fact: Propane contracts when it's cold. When it's extremely cold outside, the volume of propane inside your aboveground propane tank will shrink, which creates a loss of pressure.

Some people underestimate the effects of cold weather on propane tanks. When temperatures drop significantly (particularly into the negatives), propane tanks will lose pressure which can result in the propane not being able to reach the gas burner rendering it ineffective.

• When the temperature of the gas reaches -44⁰ F, the propane no longer has the ability to convert into its gaseous form.
• As the propane in the tank evaporates, the remaining liquid gets colder, combined with frigid outdoor temperatures the liquid propane can soon go below the freezing point of -44 inside the tank, which makes the tank unusable until thawed.
• Cold temperatures still may also affect your propane pressure. If the pressure becomes too low, the propane inside your tank will not be able to reach your gas burner and can damage your heat tools.
• Using a nearly empty propane tank is inefficient for shrink wrapping and can damage your heat tools. Remove tanks from service at 75-80% used.

Tips to Avoid Cold Weather Issues

• Keep your propane tanks full. By maintaining a relatively full propane tank you will lessen the amount of shrinkage which will minimize the pressure loss.
• Don’t cover your tank. It may seem like a good idea to wrap your tank in a typical insulated cover to maintain a warmer temperature, however, sunlight is a much more effective option.
  • If you do want to use a cover, Mr. Shrinkwrap recommends a PowerBlanket warmer.
• Clear snow and ice from your outdoor propane tank. This includes regulators, vents, piping, and valves to prevent damage that could cause a gas leak.
• Don’t pour warm water on the propane tank!

About PowerBlanket

Powerblanket products prevent fluids from freezing, protect critical materials and equipment, improve viscosity, optimize processes, keep personnel safe, and provide total temperature control and peace of mind.

PowerBlanket propane tank heaters provide a uniform barrier of heat across the entire tank. This heating solution reduces costs by optimizing temperatures and increasing propane tank efficiency.

Overwrappers are most commonly seen in the food industry. The overwrappers work best when the item(s) being wrapped are placed on a tray (although it is not necessary). Overwrappers completely cover the item(s) with film and then the operator seals the bottom with the attached hot plate to prevent leakage and to keep food products fresh.

The Details:

Overwrappers come in various lengths including, 12”, 18”, 20”, 24”, 30”, and 36” rolls. Depending on the size selected will determine the overall width of the shrink wrap roll that can be used.

Overwrapper machines range in price from $300 - $1500.

Benefits of overwrapping include:

• Reduced Packaging Costs
• Extended Shelf Life of Products (protects items against dust and debris)
• Attractive and Eye-Catching Packaging
• Keeps Perishable Items Fresh
• Easy to Open Packaging
• Tamper-evident Packaging

Centerfold shrink film comes in a variety of sizes (lengths and widths) but the one key feature of centerfold film is that the film itself is folded in half lengthwise. The fold creates a sort of pocket or pouch making it easy to insert items that will be packaged and shrunk together. Centerfold shrink film is most commonly made from Polyolefin or PVC.

It is important to note that if you have a 24” roll of centerfold shrink film, the actual width of the film is 48”.

Centerfold shrink film is used for lower output tabletop shrink machines and high-speed fully automatic machines.

Centerfold shrink film is typically used with L Bar Sealers and Bundling Machines. When using an L Bar Sealer, be sure to check the diameter of the centerfold shrink roll as many L Bar Sealers have a max diameter limit.

Single Wound Film

Single wound film is also known as lay-flat shrink wrap and comes on rolls in a single flat layer. Most single wound film is made from Polyolefin or polyethylene. Unlike centerfold shrink film, single wound shrink film is only sealed on two sides creating two holes on the ends known as “Bull’s Eyes.”

Single wound film rolls are typically used when the items being packaged are sent through a high-speed shrink machine because single wound film unwinds faster compared to centerfold shrink film rolls.

Note: Single Wound films can also be formed and sealed by hand.

heat shrink tunnel is an enclosed piece of equipment that utilizes a conveyor belt and heat system to maintain consistent temperatures within the tunnel chamber to heat shrink various different items.

There are three primary types of shrink tunnels:

• Recirculating Tunnels
• Infrared Tunnels
• Steam Tunnels

Recirculating heat shrink tunnels use hot air at varying temperatures, volumes, and pressure to heat shrink an item. The ease in controlling the temperature and volume allows for easy customization for different types of items and heat shrinking needs.

Infrared heat shrink tunnels are lined with infrared bulbs that do not have to come into direct contact with the item to apply heat. Instead, these tunnels use electromagnetic radiation to heat the surface of an object. Do not use infrared tunnels for items needing to be penetrated beyond the surface as this type of heat shrink tunnel does not have that capability.

Steam heat shrink tunnels inject steam into the tunnel to heat the item. Steam heat shrink tunnels are not applicable for curing or removing water/moisture.

Heat shrink tunnels standard sizes:

• Range from 15” wide by 6” high up to 22” wide by 8” high
• Varying lengths and extended heights available

Most common uses for Heat Shrink Tunnels:

• Shrinking Film or Labels
• Removing Water or Moisture
• Curing Coatings of Paint
• Heating Parts
• Shrink banding

Why invest in a heat shrink tunnel?

Heat shrink tunnels speed up shrinking by mechanizing the shrink wrap process. If you are using a sealer and heat shrink gun regularly, a heat shrink tunnel may be the answer. If you are interested in expanding your shrink wrapping business, take the pressure off from having to manually shrink wrap all items with a heat shrink tunnel. This is the perfect piece of equipment to add a second line to your production and will greatly speed up the entire process. Heat shrink tunnels will also provide consistency in the finished product and will streamline the overall process.

Heat Shrink Tunnel Manufacturers:

• Heat Seal

• EASTEY

• Maripack

Chose the Perfect Heat Shrink Tunnel

Selecting the right heat shrink tunnel for your needs and future plans/goals is imperative. This is an important decision. Let the experts at Mr. Shrinkwrap help you assess the options and determine which heat shrink tunnel is right for you. We are dedicated to providing top-notch customer service and know how important it is to pick the right piece of equipment. Feel free to call us at 1-866-824-3723

Strapping Tools are an essential element to the shrink wrapping process

Many shrink wrap projects can benefit from adding straps but many people are not applying straps with a tensioning tool. Some projects that benefit from straps include securing a pallet, preparing loads for transit, and of course boat wrapping.

Many DIYers use trucker knots to secure straps but we recommend using a tensioning tool to ensure straps are mechanically tight.

If you are planning on wrapping your boat this winter be sure to add ½ inch strapping, ¾ inch strapping, buckles, and a strap tensioning tool to your cart. Many people don’t realize the importance of using different sized strapping for different applications. Use the ¾ inch strapping for the center strap and use the ½ inch strapping for parts of the structure on the top and for belly bands. At Mr. Shrinkwrap we offer smaller roles at affordable prices so you won’t have excess strapping but you can complete your job with a professional finish.

Why use a strap tensioning tools?

For boat wrapping applications making the center strap tight is very important and to do that without a tensioning tool and self-locking metal buckles is virtually impossible. It is also important to secure belly bands to avoid cresting of the shrink wrap.

What is cresting?

In short, cresting is when the shrink wrap puts tension on the strap creating an arch or crest. If you don’t use the tensioning tool the strap still has enough slack in it and it causes the shrink of the shrink wrap to pull up the wrap.

Cresting is bad because it creates spots on the boat that are exposed to sunlight which may lead to uneven weathering. Mr. Shrinkwrap recommends that belly bands are placed 3-5 feet apart on boats.

How to use the strap tensioning tool

Once the strap has been fed through the metal buckle and tightened by hand, the tensioning tool can then be used to further tighten the strap to your desired tension. The tensioning tool features a durable design with few moving parts.

When to use the strap tensioning tool

We recommend using the Strap Tensioning Tool when installing the greatest load-bearing strap for your shrink wrap installation. This would be the peak or center strap on boats, and the belt or perimeter strap on industrial equipment and vehicles.
