MYLAR® EL

Product Description

Mylar® EL films, typically 48 through 500 gauge are strong, tough, general -purpose films for electrical/electronic uses. Heavier gauges of Mylar® EL films are similar to Mylar® MO films. Available in grades from clear to hazy, Mylar® EL films offer chemical inertness, good dielectrics, high temperature durability, and good handling characteristics.

General Product Info

The superior electrical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical inertness characteristics of Mylar® type EL films make them ideally suited for electrical and electronic applications.

Special Features

Slit rolls are available in the following ID and OD configuration: 3" ID 9 1/2" OD, 48 - 500 gauge 3" ID 13" OD, 48 - 500 gauge 3" ID 16" OD, 48 gauge only 3" ID 18" OD, 92 - 500 gauge 6" ID 11" OD 6" ID 14" OD 6" ID 16 1/2" OD 6" ID 18" OD Master rolls are available as shown in the Standard Put-Ups table. They are splice free and are available in selected widths in minimum order quantities of 35,000 lb per order with a minimum of 10,000 lb per item. Note: 10% of the 48 and 75 gauge Master rolls may have one splice.

Typical Applications

The outstanding strength, flexibility, and electrical properties of Mylar® type EL films make them well suited for many electrical and electronics applications. The good handling and winding characteristics make them especially suitable for coating, die cutting, embossing, and laminating operations.
