Vanguard CLF is a new low shrink formce film engineered to give a tight shrink without deforming or bending the package being wrapped. In addition to its "Low Force" properties. CLF is also esay to shink at temperatures lower than those required by typical crosslinked polyethylene films. This combination of features makes CLF one of the most forgiving shink packaging films on the market today.
