Can the food wrap be heated?

There is a special microwave wrap film on the market, which can be used for both refrigerator and microwave ovens. This plastic wrap is far superior to ordinary cling film in terms of heat resistance and non-toxicity. However, the plastic wrap currently on the market is mostly vague in terms of safety. The materials and types are mixed, and it is often difficult for the average consumer to identify whether it is safe or not, which greatly reduces the safety of the cling film. Experts recommend that the plastic wrap is best not to enter the microwave oven.

Types and characteristics of cling film:

According to the material and processing technology of cling film, wrap film can be divided into polyethylene (PE) self-adhesive wrap film, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) self-adhesive wrap film, polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) self-adhesive wrap film and multilayer Co-extruded self-adhesive cling film. It is understood that among the three kinds of plastic wrap, the cling film of PE and PVDC is safe for the human body. Most of the cling film currently on the market uses PE, and PVC cling film can also be used for food packaging, but heated in a microwave oven. Harmful substances may be produced after the package is overheated or oily. The new standard stipulates that PVC wrap film should be marked with warning language such as “cannot be touched with greased food”, “no microwave oven heating”, “no high temperature use”. Other types of cling film, if claimed to be used for microwave heating, should be marked "can be used in microwave ovens", heating methods and maximum temperature resistance. In addition, the cling film should also mark the words "food".
