What is Mylar®?
Mylar® is a DuPont® developed and manufactured oriented, multi-use, versatile polyester (PET) film. Throughout our catalog, a few characteristics unitize this polyester product line; Mylar® films do not become brittle with age under normal conditions because there are no plasticizers. Polyester films have great archival quality, dimensionally stability, chemical resistance, moisture resistance, non-tearing properties, electrically insulating properties, balanced tensile properties and a temperature range of - 100 to 300F. Unique properties of optically clear polyester include color consistency, great clarity, and non-yellowing properties.
The brand name Mylar® is the registered trademark owned by the E.I. DuPont Corporation for bi-axially oriented polyester film (BOPET). The term or trade name Mylar® is used to identify polyester or PET that is manufactured using DuPont Teijin Films resin. CS Hyde supplies DuPont® Mylar® Type A film. The generic trade name for Mylar® is PET, or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
