What is Parafilm®?

Parafilm® is a polymer blend thermoplastic film made from wax and euolefin. It resembles a foil wrapper in softness and is common in laboratories for sealing or wrapping moist labware because it resists moisture and gas leakage as well as providing a tight seal around the edges. Its stretchability makes it useful and manageable to tape around many different shapes or profiles.

The features mentioned above makes it in demand in virtually every lab including those in pharmaceutical, academic R&D and bioscience, food testing.

  from evaporation during storage and transport.
