What material is window insulation film

windowswinterizing

That clear, heat shrink plastic film they use to insulate windows… Does anyone know exactly what type of plastic it is? Can't find anything searching.

I have a project I think it might be good for that requires gluing it and I'd like to know what it's made of to use the most appropriate adhesive. If anyone has done this, recommendations on adhesive will also be appreciated it.

A quick Wikipedia search leads me to say its Polyolefin (also see Shrink Wrap):

The most commonly used shrink wrap is polyolefin. It is available in a variety of thicknesses, clarities, strengths and shrink ratios. The two primary films can be either crosslinked, or non crosslinked. Other shrink films include PVC and several other compositions.

Any adhesive that will adhere to "plastics" should work fine.
