Mylar is a clear plastic that is used for several purposes. It has excellent tensile strength and is highly flexible. It is also durable and can withstand moisture, acids, and oils. This is why the US Library of Congress uses Mylar to preserve important documents. Mylar is often used in the food ind...
Read MoreDuct tape is useful for fixing busted broom handles, patching holes in your shoulder bag and keeping cardboard boxes closed. But it's pretty useless on ducts, which requires a more robust tape that can seal the gaps that leak heated and cooled air — leaks notorious for raising energy bills. That's w...
Read MoreMylar is a brand name for a specific type of plastic film. It is a biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BoPET) with many advantages, including high tensile strength, chemical and dimensional stability, transparency, reflectivity, gas and aroma barrier properties and electrical insulation. ...
Read MoreInsulation of wires and cables is crucial to maintain reliable performance in a variety of environments. Different insulation materials possess a range of key attributes that make them suited for particular applications. Insulation can be made of thermoplastics, thermosets, or fluoropolymers and can...
Read MoreInsulation is a vital part of any cable—it’s what keeps the current from flowing in two directions at the same time, and prevents the transfer of energy from one wire to another. Insulation also protects the wire from temperature, chemicals, oil, and other elements that could damage it or cause a sh...
Read MoreMetallized film is a type of plastic that has been treated with aluminum to improve its barrier properties and optical appearance. It is typically used for food and beverage packaging, as well as other consumer products. Metallized films are often produced by vacuum deposition of a thin layer...
Read MoreToday, PET mylar is known as a versatile plastic sheet material for electronics, food packaging, industrial specialty and graphics & print. Mylar film has balanced tensile properties, good adhesion, excellent moisture barriers and chemical resistance, and can handle temperatures from -100 to...
Read MoreIn its simplest terms, Metalized film is a plastic that has been coated with aluminum. This is a popular coating material for packaging as it keeps oxygen, moisture and other contaminants out.
