Polyester films, such as Mylar® A from the manufacturer Mylar Specialty Films, are based on polyethylene terephthalate and are used in numerous industries. PET films are characterized by their outstanding physical, chemical and electrical properties.
Mylar® A is extremely tensile and tear-resistant, even under the influence of heat. Despite its extensive dimensional stability, Mylar® can be formed and embossed and can therefore be used in a wide range of applications. The film also has excellent electrical insulation properties and is therefore ideal as motor insulation in the form of slot insulation⇱, cover slide⇱ or phase insulation⇱. Mylar® can also be printed, metallized and laminated and is used in the printing industry and as a carrier film for adhesive tapes. As Mylar® is resistant to solvents and oils as well as fungi and bacteria, it is also used in medical technology. Other applications for Mylar® A are in the furniture industry for surfaces and in the packaging industry.
