What is clingfilm?

Clingfilm, also known as plastic wrap or food wrap, is a thin, flexible plastic film used to cover and preserve food items. It adheres to surfaces through static electricity, creating an airtight seal that helps keep food fresh by preventing moisture loss and contamination. Typically made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE), clingfilm is commonly used in kitchens for storing leftovers, wrapping Sandwiches, and covering dishes. Its transparency allows for easy visibility of contents, making it a popular choice for food storage.
