MYLAR® EL21

Product Description
Mylar® EL21 polyester films are flexible strong and durable films with an unusual balance of properties, making them suitable for a variety of industrial applications. The excellent dielectric strength, moisture resistance, and physical toughnes make Mylar® EL21 a very versatile and functional insulating material.

General Product Info
Mylar® EL21 films offer high dielectric strength, good chemical resistance, and exceptional durability in high-temperature enviroments.

Typical Applications
Mylar® type EL21 films, similar to Mylar® type MO films, are heavy gauge insulating films designed for general purpose electrical/electronic applications, such as transformers, laminates, bus bars, and punched parts.

Approvals
UL Recognition - Product has been registered with Underwriters Laboratories.
