FAQs

How is Cling Film made?

PVC Cling Film is a thin piece of plastic made from polyethylene derived from crude oil which has been heated to produce petroleom. Once petroleom has been heated to become a liquid polymerization occurs creating polyethylene granules. The polyethylene arrives at the cling film manufacturer in granules that look similar to sea salt. The granuales are then melted at a temperature between 200-300 degress celcius. Using air compressors, air is blown into the melted granules which forms a large bubble. At the very top, the large bubble is fed into two rollers which compress the sheets from there it gets cut and boxed up ready to be distributed.

Can you buy cling film dispensers?

Whilst most cling film arrives already in a cutter box they tend to tear the cling film in parts or the cutter box isn’t sharp enough and can create a lot of waste epecially those purchased at a supermarket, our catering cling film dispensers are available to help you cut cling film with ease with it’s easycut cutting edge. We currently stock 3 different types of dispensers which are compatible with wrapmaster catering cling film, aluminium foil and greaseproof baking parchment. Available in two sizes, 12 inch mini dispenser and 18 inch dispenser, and the third being an 18 inch duo dispenser, for business who are looking to find a good storage solution for their food preparation equipment saving up to 40% of bench food preparation space. The duo dispenser is compatible with cling film, baking parchment or tin foil. Our wrapmasters are easy to clean and can be cleaned by hand or dishwasher compatible and saves potential drilling and fitting of other cling film holders.

Can you put cling film in the oven?

Cling Film is made from plastic which is not entirely ovenproof, given it’s relatively moderate melting temperature it could melt and potentially contaminate foods. We would recommend that cling film is not used in the oven and you consult the manufacturers instructions.

Can you put cling film in the microwave?

Yes! Cling film can be used as a cover for foods that require heating in the microwave. Although we wouldn’t recommend you keep it in there for longer than 2 minutes and keep it elevated from foods to avoid it melting and contaminating the food.

How to poach an egg in cling film?

That’s right, you can actually poach an egg in using cling film although due to potential carcegians being released into the water it isn’t adviced. Please follow the manufacturers instructions before trying to poach an egg in cling film.

Is cling film recyclable?

Currenty cling film is not considered recyclable, compostable or biodegradable in the UK, this is because it contains an ingredient called PVC. PVC or polyvinyl chloride is not recyclable at the moment in the UK, until we can produce cling film without PVC, we would recommend you to through used cling film in your general waste bin. Baking parchment and aluminium foil however are considered to be recyclable. Please consiously recycle where possible.

What is the difference between industrial catering cling film and cling film from the supermarket?

The most noticable difference between catering cling film and regular cling film found in supermarkets is the length of cling film. Most cling films found in supermarkets are around 25 metres, whilst catering cling film is around 300m! It saves on average 50% of cost by buying catering cling film. The second difference is quality, with the average cling film a the local supermarket you may find the quality is hit and miss with some cling films being flimsy and tears easily. You won’t find this with the catering cling film ensuring quality with every cut. The third thing you will notice will be the cutting mechanism. A lot of the cutter boxes found in the supermarkets are just made of the same card as the box or a very thin strip of metal. In catering cling film you won’t find this, most of the plastic wrap that we stock has a very rigid sharp cutter that ensures a clean cut every time.

What is Bacofoil?

Bacofoil is a brand, similar to Wrapmaster supplying food wrap such as aluminium foil, cling film and roasting film. Bacofoil is known to be available to the end user in supermarkets across the UK. We do not currently Bacofoil but find that wrapmaster and caterwrap are of equal standard to that of the Bacofoil.
