In many industrial sectors, the need to protect surfaces, materials or even entire sites is crucial. Whether in the construction sector, industry or for specific operations such as asbestos removal, the Ripack Supplies® brand stands out for its expertise in heat-shrink solutions. Thanks to its innovative products, it offers protection solutions that are effective, durable and easy to implement.
What is heat-shrink film?
Heat-shrink film is a plastic material which, when heated, contracts and conforms to the shape of the object it covers. This technique is widely used to protect structures, secure goods during transport or insulate work areas. Ripack Supplies® offers high-quality films that guarantee not only excellent adhesion but also increased resistance to harsh environmental conditions, such as bad weather or temperature variations.
Use in the asbestos removal sector
Asbestos removal is a field that requires particular attention in terms of safety and environmental protection. Ripack Supplies® heat-shrink film is an essential solution for isolating contaminated areas. It contains asbestos fibres, limiting the spread of dangerous substances by creating a truly hermetic cocoon. By providing a durable, watertight barrier, this film helps to protect workers and the surrounding environment.
What’s more, the high-quality, recyclable films offered by Ripack Supplies® comply with current regulations and are designed to withstand the most demanding environments. Their flexibility and ability to adapt to different surfaces and structures make them an indispensable ally in decontamination work. Thanks to their ability to be welded together, there are no size limits on your worksites.
Securing building sites and industrial sites
In the construction and heavy industry sectors, securing sites is a priority. Heat-shrinkable film is an effective way of protecting not only materials, but also infrastructure undergoing assembly or renovation. By opting for Ripack Supplies® solutions, site managers can cover large surfaces quickly and safely, while guaranteeing optimum protection against external hazards such as rain, wind or dust.
One of the great advantages of heat-shrinkable film is that it can be applied quickly using specialised heating tools such as Ripack® shrink guns. These guns are renowned for their unique technology, safety and efficiency. They save a considerable amount of time on worksites, reducing labour costs. Numerous accessories have been developed in parallel to ensure optimum comfort when using and shrinking large surfaces: extensions, arm supports, etc.
Transport and logistics: fast, secure protection
Heat-shrink film is not only used for protective purposes, it is also widely used in the logistics sector. When transporting goods, whether heavy or fragile, the use of heat-shrink film helps to secure loads, preventing sudden movements or damage during handling.
Ripack Supplies® offers films designed to withstand mechanical shocks and vibrations, guaranteeing optimum protection for products being transported, whether over short or long distances. What’s more, these films are also resistant to UV rays, providing protection against the premature ageing of materials under the effect of the sun.
Environmentally-friendly technology
At a time when companies are increasingly concerned about their ecological footprint, Ripack Supplies® is committed to offering environmentally-friendly solutions. The heat-shrinkable films offered are recyclable and their use reduces the waste generated during protection or transport operations.
In addition, the tools developed by Ripack®, such as their shrink guns, are designed to consume less energy while offering maximum performance. This not only reduces environmental impact, but also saves on energy costs.
With recognised expertise in the field of heat-shrink film, Ripack Supplies® is a key player for all industries requiring reliable and effective protection solutions. Whether it’s for asbestos removal projects, site security, goods protection or the creation of temporary insulation, Ripack products combine quality, safety and innovation. They are the solution of choice for protection, transport and storage requirements in a variety of often demanding conditions.
