FLXTITE AP-3: A higher tear resistance and softer formulation makes AP-3 multi-layer, biaxially oriented polyolefin shrink film the ideal film for wrapping items having need for greater puncture resistance. These include housewares, books, mechanical and electrical components. It runs well on packaging machinery which is sensitive to easier tearing films, and it has excellent clarity, good shrinkage, excellent sealing and outstanding puncture resistance.
