Sustainable Nano Stretch Film
in the UAE
Product Snapshot
- Less Plastic Per Pallet: Our nano films hold the same load at a lower thickness, cutting plastic consumption and supporting packaging reduction targets.
- 67-Layer Nano Construction: Made with cast extrusion technology and high-grade polymers, giving high strength and stretch from a much thinner film.
- Standard and Ultra Grades: From 8 micron manual film to 13-16 micron machine film with 200% pre-stretch, matched to your wrapping method and load.
Nano stretch film is an advanced pallet-wrapping film manufactured using multilayer nanotechnology. By combining 67 layers of high-grade polymer through cast extrusion, it delivers strength, stretch and puncture resistance from a much thinner film than conventional stretch wrap.
In the UAE logistics and manufacturing sectors, businesses are under growing pressure to reduce plastic use without compromising load stability. AAB Industries supplies nano stretch film as part of its sustainable packaging range, in which the same pallet is secured with significantly less material. Our films are available in standard and ultra grades, for everything from manual hand wrapping to high-speed automatic pallet wrapping.
What is Nano Stretch Film?
Nano stretch film is a cast polyethylene film built from a large number of very thin co-extruded layers, in this case, 67 layers. Each layer contributes a specific property, so the finished film combines high stretch, tear resistance, and cling without needing extra thickness. This is what makes it a sustainable choice.
A thinner film holds the same load as a heavier conventional wrap, so less plastic is used on every pallet, an approach known as source reduction. The film is applied under tension around palletised goods to hold them together and protect them from moisture, dust and mechanical damage in transit, and the polyethylene remains recyclable through soft plastic
Key Features of Nano Stretch Film
Reduced plastic use per pallet, supporting packaging reduction and waste targets.
67-layer cast construction using high-grade polymers for strength at low thickness.
Recyclable polyethylene film, with no compromise on load stability.
High transparency and clarity for barcode reading and product identification.
Excellent barrier properties against moisture, dirt, sand and dust.
Available in manual and machine grades, with made-to-order thicknesses and lengths.
Industrial Applications
Logistics and Palletising
Warehouses and distribution centres use nano stretch film to unitise and secure palletised loads. The film holds cartons firmly together and keeps loads stable through repeated handling and transport.
Plastic Reduction Programmes
Businesses working to cut packaging waste use nano film to down-gauge their pallet wrap. Switching to a thinner, higher-stretch film lowers plastic consumption across every load without weakening containment.
Transit and Storage Protection
Nano stretch film protects goods from moisture, dirt, sand and dust during storage and shipping. Its clarity keeps barcodes and labels readable, so pallets can be identified without unwrapping.

Technical Documentation and Storage
Accessing detailed product information is essential for matching the right film grade to your packaging standards. We provide specification sheets for all our nano stretch films to support your quality and procurement processes.
Proper storage is critical to maintaining stretch and cling performance. Rolls should be stored in a cool, dry, sheltered area, out of direct sunlight, which can degrade the film over time. Rolls are best kept upright on a clean surface and should not be crushed or stacked under heavy loads.
For the best results, match the film grade to your wrapping method. The 8 micron film is intended for manual and low-stretching applications, the 12 micron film suits both manual and machine wrapping, and the ultra grade is designed for machine application. Alternative thicknesses and lengths can be produced to order.
Note: Every endeavour has been made to ensure the information given here is true and reliable, but it is provided only for the guidance of our customers and without guarantee. Users are advised to confirm the suitability of our recommendations through their own testing. Tests are performed at 23°C (+/-2°C). Roll gross weight carries a tolerance of +/-5%.

Nano Stretch Film FAQ
Q) Is nano stretch film sustainable?
Nano stretch film supports sustainability through source reduction. Its 67-layer construction supports the same load with a much thinner film, so less plastic is used per pallet. The polyethylene film is also recyclable through soft plastic streams. It is not a biodegradable or compostable product.
Q) What is nano stretch film?
Nano stretch film is a multilayer cast stretch film built from 67 very thin co-extruded layers of high-grade polymer. The layered structure delivers high stretch, strength and puncture resistance from a thinner film than conventional stretch wrap.
Q) What is the difference between nano standard and nano ultra stretch film?
Nano standard film is available in 8-micron for manual and low-stretching applications, and 12-micron for manual and machine use. Nano ultra film is 13-16 microns with 200% pre-stretch and is designed specifically for machine applications.
Q) What is pre-stretch, and why does it matter?
Pre-stretch is the extent to which the film is stretched before it is applied to the load. Higher pre-stretch means each roll covers more pallets, which lowers film consumption and cost per pallet while maintaining load stability.
Q) Can nano stretch film be used on automatic pallet wrappers?
Yes. Our 12-micron standard film is suitable for manual and machine applications, and the nano ultra grade is engineered for machine wrapping, including high-speed automatic pallet wrappers.
Q) How much plastic can nano-stretch film save?
Because the 67-layer construction provides strength at lower thickness and higher stretch, fewer metres and less film weight are needed to secure each pallet. Savings depend on the selected grade and the load being wrapped, and our team can help you assess them against your current film.
Q) Do you supply nano stretch film in bulk across the UAE?
Yes. We manufacture and stock nano stretch film in Dubai and supply it in bulk for logistics and manufacturing customers. Alternative thicknesses and lengths can be produced to order. Please contact us for bulk pricing and lead times.
