Have you ever used a plastic garbage bag and had it rip because you stuffed too much into it or because something inside hit a protruding part or corner?
The ease with which a plastic bag tears depends on its thickness; the typical shopping bags used at convenience stores and supermarkets are 0.01 mm thick for the smallest sizes, and 0.02 mm or 0.03 mm thick for the larger sizes.
Thin garbage bags of about 0.011mm to 0.015mm are becoming mainstream for general household waste, but it is safer to choose one that is about 0.020mm thick. For gardening waste with many protrusions and corners, or when putting heavy items in, it is better to choose a thicker plastic bag, such as 0.050mm.
At Japanax, we handle plastic bags made of materials that are resistant to punctures and holes, as well as materials that stretch well.We also carry plastic bags that are thicker than 0.050mm and are used for commercial purposes, with a thickness of 0.080mm.
This time, we will introduce the thicker products sold at Japanax.
About the materials used for tear-resistant garbage bags
The strength and tear resistance of garbage bags vary depending on their thickness and material. There are two main types of garbage bags, and we recommend using them according to what you put in them and how you plan to use them.
LLDPE (smooth type): Linear low-density polyethylene
It has a smooth, soft and transparent texture, and has excellent average tear and tensile strength.LLDPE is used for thick garbage bags, pallet covers, square bottom bags, stretch film, etc., and is considered ideal for disposing of or storing heavy or protruding items.
HDPE (crunchy type): High density polyethylene
It has a dry, crunchy texture and a frosted, translucent color. It has excellent tensile strength and is used for thin garbage bags, shopping bags, cash register rolls, and rain protection wrapping for newspapers.
It is also said to be ideal for collecting waste paper, fallen leaves, plastic bottles, food trays, etc.
Thick and durable 0.08mm polybags and standard bags for heavy loads!
The "thickness" and "material" of a plastic bag affect how easily it tears. Here we will introduce extra-thick garbage bags and standard bags that are made thicker to make them less likely to tear.
Thick and durable plastic bags for heavy loads
A durable, extra-thick type with a thickness of 0.08 mm that is difficult to tear even when sharp objects are insertedPlastic bag!
It is thick enough to handle heavy items, transparent so the contents are easy to see, and available in sizes from 20L to a large 120L. *The material is LLDPE.
These plastic bags are very useful for collecting waste and heavy objects in factories, and for packaging machine parts, etc.!
These plastic bags are durable, resistant to pulling, and stretchy, so they can be used safely when disposing of debris generated during interior construction work, broken battens and plasterboard, heavy metal waste, and fragile items as items placed in the bags are less likely to fly out or tear.
In addition, since the bag is thick, it can also be used to protect and transport valuables.
A special thick standard bag that is thick, durable, and tear-resistant!
A durable, extra-thick type with a thickness of 0.08 mm that is difficult to tear even when sharp objects are insertedStandard bags!
Like the extra thick plastic bags, these are transparent, making the contents easy to see, and are useful for sorting and packing small parts, as well as wrapping thick documents and bulky items.
These standard bags are available in sizes 9 to 20 depending on the purpose. *The material is LLDPE.
In addition to being used to protect, sort and package small metal parts manufactured in factories and workshops, it can also be conveniently used to package printed materials, booklets and pamphlets.
Tear-resistant stretchable garbage bag
If you are looking for a bag that is not easily torn but will be used at home, in a store, or in an office, and will not carry heavy items, we also recommend the two-layer and three-layer plastic bags that combine two materials and have increased strength due to the film laminate.
By bonding the materials together as shown in the figure, you can get the best of both HDPE and LLDPE!
A composite three-layer type that is stretchy and tear-resistant
If you need a plastic bag that is not large or heavy and is suitable for offices, workplaces, or events, but is difficult to tear and allows you to see the contents inside, then a three-layer plastic bag is the way to go!
