My initial investigations suggest that this is the same stuff although cling film is food safe,  this definition normally suggests it is produced in a cleaner environment.  Hope that helps.

Hi David,

In an emergency any CLEAN polythene/plastic sheeting can do.

If a cling type material DO NOT wrap around but lay over the area and tab around the edges thus avoiding a constricting.
