Application Scope
WS-501 PETG Resin for Film Production
WS-501 is developed as a dedicated shrink film-grade PETG material. It is suitable for producing a wide range of high-shrink films with stable performance.
The biaxially or uniaxially oriented shrink films made from WS-501 are widely used in:
-
Sleeve label applications for bottled beverages
-
Packaging labels for cans and containers
-
Industrial shrink labeling systems requiring consistent shrink ratio and clarity
Its stable processing behavior and optical clarity make it suitable for high-speed labeling and automated packaging lines.

For 3D Filaments Application
It can also be used for 3D print filament.PETG filament is stronger and
offers more impact resistance than acrylic, ABS and PLA filaments.It's toughness
and resistance make it a dependable material for various projects.

Food Preservation Film
Contact UsFood preservation film is a functional film product specifically designed for food storage. Endowed with excellent sealing, oxygen-barrier, and moisture-retention properties, it has become an indispensable food preservation tool in home kitchens, the catering industry, and the food retail sector. Its core function is to delay the oxidative deterioration of food and reduce moisture loss, thereby extending the freshness period of food and minimizing waste.
Moisture Retention & Freshness Preservation: It adheres closely to the surface of food, effectively reducing moisture evaporation from ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, and cooked food. This prevents ingredients from becoming shriveled and losing their texture due to moisture loss (e.g., cut watermelons, lettuce salads).
Oxygen Barrier & Oxidation Prevention: By isolating oxygen in the air, it slows down the oxidation reaction of ingredients, delaying the spoilage of meat and seafood, as well as the “browning” of cut fruits (e.g., apples, pears) caused by oxidation.
Odor Isolation & Hygienic Protection: When stored in the refrigerator, it can separate the odors of different foods (e.g., the pungent smell of onions and garlic does not interfere with the aroma of pastries and fruits). Meanwhile, it prevents food from directly contacting the inner walls of the refrigerator, reducing the risk of cross-contamination by bacteria.
Convenience & Ease of Use: Most products adopt a “roll + cutter” design, allowing flexible cutting of lengths according to the size of the food. The thin, lightweight, and transparent material also makes it easy to check the condition of the wrapped food—there is no need to unwrap it to confirm the type and freshness of the ingredients. -
