How do ForceFlex® OdorShield® trash bags work?
GLAD ForceFlex® OdorShield® trash bags combine two proprietary technologies to provide stretchable strength and odor neutralization. They use a proprietary plastic technology known as SELFING (Structurally Elastic-Like Film.) The plastic is deeply embossed with a diamond-like pattern that gives the material unique elasticity. Pressure is diverted away from the point of impact so that the trash bag will absorb force and stretch instead of breaking. The pattern isn’t made from thicker plastic – it’s made from “smarter plastic” that allows the bag to stretch around objects instead of letting them poke through. This technology was originally developed for the diaper manufacturing and feminine protection products industries. GLAD ForceFlex® OdorShield® bags also utilize OdorShield® proprietary technology that neutralizes negative trash odors and leaves behind a fresh clean scent.
