Mylar® A films are tough, general purpose films that are transparent in 48 through 92 gauge and translucent in heavier gauges. They have a rough surface to provide ease of handling, good adhesion, and processability. They are used for a broad range of industrial applications.
|
|
Mylar® A films have balanced tensile properties and excellent resistance to moisture and most chemicals. They can withstand temperature extremes from -100℉ to 300ºF. Mylar® does not become brittle with age under normal conditions, because it contains no plasticizers.
|
Mylar® A films are used extensively in a wide variety of markets. Some of them are:
- Book jackets
- Carbon ribbon
- Control Tape
- Drumheads
- Duct Liners
- Identifications
- Membrane touch switches
- Metallized Base
- Pressure Sensitive Labels (plain or metallized)
- Protective surfacing
- Release liners
- Roll leaf (hot stamping)
