The Parafilm is a moisture-resistant thermoplastic used to seal Nematode Growth Media (NGM) agar plates on which the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is cultured. This practice reduces media dehydration and microbial contamination.
The Parafilm sealing film can be stretched up to 200% and clings around irregular shapes and surfaces.
It is resistant to many polar substances such as saline solutions, inorganic acids and alkaline solutions for up to 48 hours (After this time it may become brittle)
Parafilm is a semi-transparent, flexible film composed of a blend of waxes and polyolefin.
