PARAFILM

Parafilm is a thermoplastic sealing film composed of polyolefins blended with paraffin waxes. It is supplied as a flexible, semi-transparent sheet that stretches to conform to irregular shapes and adheres to itself without adhesives. The material is non-sterile as standard and is available in roll formats with a nominal thickness of 0.13 mm. Common roll dimensions include widths of 2 inches and 4 inches, with lengths of 125 feet and 250 feet. The film is used in laboratory and industrial settings for sealing containers, covering beakers, wrapping samples, and providing a moisture-resistant barrier. It is not intended for high-temperature applications; typical service limits are published in the manufacturer’s technical data. 3G Electric supplies Parafilm sealing film as part of its films and seals product line. The product family includes multiple SKUs that differ by roll width and length, allowing buyers to select the format that matches their handling and coverage requirements. Each SKU is identified by a manufacturer part number, and 3G Electric provides datasheets and logistics support for global delivery. The film is non-sterile and clear, and it is manufactured from polyolefins with paraffin waxes. It is suitable for covering and sealing in environments where a pliable, self-adhering barrier is needed. Because Parafilm is a consumable item, 3G Electric maintains inventory across the available roll sizes to support recurring orders. The product is used in applications such as sealing test tubes, covering flasks, protecting samples during transport, and wrapping instruments. It can be stretched to approximately twice its original length, which allows it to conform to threaded connections, stoppers, and irregular glassware. The film is resistant to many aqueous solutions and provides a temporary moisture barrier. It is not recommended for use with strong solvents or for applications requiring sterility. 3G Electric’s catalog includes Parafilm in the following configurations: 4-inch width by 125-foot length, 4-inch width by 250-foot length, and 2-inch width by 250-foot length. All are non-sterile and clear, with a thickness of 0.13 mm. The material is polyolefins with paraffin waxes. These products are classified under films and seals. 3G Electric supports the Parafilm line by providing product specifications, manufacturer part numbers, and order fulfillment. The company ships globally and can accommodate requests for datasheets and logistics coordination. For technical buyers, the key selection criteria are roll width, roll length, and the intended sealing application. Parafilm is a general-purpose laboratory film, and its performance characteristics are defined by the material composition and thickness. It is not a substitute for pressure-sensitive tapes or heat-seal films in high-demand applications. 3G Electric does not manufacture Parafilm; it distributes the brand as part of its industrial and laboratory supply portfolio. The product is available in the SKUs listed above, and additional configurations may be available upon request. Buyers should verify compatibility with their specific sealing requirements, including temperature exposure and chemical contact. 3G Electric can provide the manufacturer’s technical data to assist with evaluation.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about PARAFILM from 3G Electric.

What is Parafilm sealing film made of?

Parafilm sealing film is made from polyolefins blended with paraffin waxes. This composition gives the film its flexibility, self-adhering properties, and moisture resistance. The material is non-sterile and clear, with a nominal thickness of 0.13 mm. It is supplied in roll form and is intended for temporary sealing and covering applications in laboratory and industrial settings. The film stretches to conform to irregular surfaces and adheres to itself without additional adhesives. It is not recommended for use with strong solvents or for applications requiring sterility.

What roll sizes of Parafilm are available from 3G Electric?

3G Electric supplies Parafilm in three roll configurations: 4 inches wide by 125 feet long, 4 inches wide by 250 feet long, and 2 inches wide by 250 feet long. All rolls have a thickness of 0.13 mm and are non-sterile and clear. The manufacturer part numbers for these SKUs are HS23452, HS234526C, and HS23452 respectively. Buyers should confirm the exact MPN when ordering, as part numbers may vary by configuration. Additional sizes may be available upon request.

Can Parafilm be used for sealing containers in industrial applications?

Parafilm is used in both laboratory and industrial settings for sealing containers, covering beakers, and wrapping samples. It provides a flexible, moisture-resistant barrier that conforms to irregular shapes. However, it is not intended for high-temperature or high-pressure applications, and it is not a substitute for permanent sealing methods. Industrial users should evaluate compatibility with their specific chemicals and operating conditions. The film is non-sterile and is not recommended for sterile processes. 3G Electric can provide technical data to assist with evaluation.

Is Parafilm sterile?

No, Parafilm sealing film is supplied as non-sterile. The standard product is not manufactured or packaged under sterile conditions. If sterility is required, alternative products or sterilization methods should be considered. The film is clear and made from polyolefins with paraffin waxes. It is intended for general sealing and covering tasks where sterility is not a requirement. 3G Electric lists the sterility status on each product page and can provide datasheets for further verification.

What is the thickness of Parafilm sealing film?

Parafilm sealing film has a nominal thickness of 0.13 mm. This thickness is consistent across the roll sizes supplied by 3G Electric, including the 2-inch and 4-inch width options. The film is designed to be stretched during application, which reduces its thickness further and allows it to conform tightly to surfaces. The 0.13 mm specification is a key selection criterion for buyers who need a specific barrier performance. 3G Electric provides this specification on the product datasheet.

How does 3G Electric support the Parafilm product line?

3G Electric distributes Parafilm sealing film and provides product specifications, manufacturer part numbers, and logistics support. The company ships globally and can coordinate orders for the available roll sizes. 3G Electric does not manufacture Parafilm; it supplies the brand as part of its films and seals portfolio. Buyers can request datasheets and technical information to assist with product selection. For recurring orders, 3G Electric maintains inventory to support consistent supply. The company can also assist with identifying the correct SKU based on roll width and length requirements.
