I have seen blue, white, and clear shrink wrap. What is the difference?
In most cases white 7mil shrink wrap will be used as it is optimal for most applications. For zones where extreme cold exists, blue covers may be used so as to help with the extreme cold as the blue will attract more sunlight. Clear shrink wrap is used when there is a need to see through the wrap. Wrap also varies in thickness as thicker wrap may be preferred for industrial applications.
