Parafilm cracking
    #26891016 - 08/21/20 02:33 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

So I've bought a new roll of parafilm about a month ago and the film is cracking after 24 to 48 hours for the majority of my plates but not all. Some holds fine for a week.

I contacted the company and their answer was that the parafilm should be changed every day because it'll start cracking after about 48 hours.
I've never experienced this before in the 5 years that I have been working with the product.
It's from 3M so it is supposed to be a quality product.

Have any of you ever experienced this or can you confirm what the company says?

These plates are about 2 days old.

Here's a much better and cheaper option in my opinion. I use Press n' Seal. I use a knife and cut the roll into 1 1/2" wide. It beats a $40 roll. That was probably super old. Try this!

I prefer to keep everything to a lab grade standard so I don't mind paying the $40 for one roll. Besides, one roll lasts up to 2 years for me so it's not really an issue.

I've seen that happen before. I think it is just a quality control issue with the manufacturer. It seems like about 1 out of 10 rolls I get is like that. I cut my losses then and there and buy a new roll. $32ish isn't bad for a 4"x125' roll. I get my money's worth and then some, but I run through 1500+ plates a year to fuel my madness.

You can double it up but it is a shit show for sure.
