Ludwigshafen (ots)

Cling film - also called plastic wrap - has
to be pretty versatile. It should stretch a lot without tearing, it 
should keep out the germs, and it has to seal in moisture and aroma 
to keep those cold cuts from drying out and that chunk of French 
cheese from smelling up the refrigerator. On top of that, the wrap 
has to stick to the edge of the plate or the bowl. For many years, 
one plastic in particular has been performing all of those chores 
perfectly - polyethylene, or PE for short. In entertaining episodes 
our Chemical Reporter answers questions of our Podcast listeners on 
Chemistry in our everyday life.

There's a kind of fence between them that each is unable to overcome on its own: this ...
