What is BS EN 14932 - Thermoplastic stretch films about?
BS EN 14932 is a European standard on plastics that specifies the test methods which result in determining the mechanical and optical characteristics of thermoplastic stretch films used for wrapping silage bales.
BS EN 14932 specifies the requirements for dimensional, mechanical, oxygen transmission rate and optical characteristics of stretch thermoplastic films for wrapping bales used for ensilaging of forage. It specifies a classification for the solar reflectance of the films.
BS EN 14932 test methods for the determination of the airtightness and oxygen permeability determined on a wrapped artificial bale.
Note: BS EN 14932 is applicable to white, black, or colored films based on polyolefin materials. It covers the width range from 250 mm up to 1 000 mm.
Who is BS EN 14932 - Thermoplastic stretch films for?
BS EN 14932 on plastics is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of thermoplastic stretch films
- Diary industries
- Food industries
- Poultry Farming
Why should you use BS EN 14932 - Thermoplastic stretch films bales?
A thermoplastic film is especially suited for use in stretch/cling applications such as bundling, packaging. Stretch film is used to wrap products on pallets and secure them to each other and the pallet.
BS EN 14932 helps in characterizing the durability of thermoplastic stretch films used for wrapping silage bales. BS EN 14932 provides guidance on the inspection which helps you in identifying the defects on the thermoplastic stretch films.
The test methods mentioned in BS EN 14932 can help you in determining the mechanical characteristics of thermoplastic stretch films. BS EN 14932 specifies the test methods and requirements that are helpful in determining the optical characteristics for thermoplastic stretch films used for wrapping silage bales. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 14932, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality thermoplastic stretch films.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 14932:2018 supersedes BS EN 14932:2006. BS EN 14932:2018 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN 14932:2006. These include:
- Classification according to the solar reflectance is changed
- Durability makes reference to the exposure of films by artificial weathering
- Optional characteristics are introduced by revised annexes
- Paragraphs on instructions for use, for disposal, and end-of-life of stretch films have been added
