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°F to 300ºF. Mylar® does not become brittle with age under normal conditions, because it contains no plasticizers.
|
Slit rolls are available in the following ID and OD configuration:
- 3" ID 9 1/2" OD
- 3" ID 13" OD
- 3" ID 16" OD
- 3" ID 18" OD
- 6" ID 11" OD
- 6" ID 14" OD
- 6" ID 16 1/2" OD
- 6" ID 18" OD
Master rolls are much longer lengths, splice free, and are available on 6 inch and 10 inch ID cores. Master rolls are available in minimum order quantities of 10,000 pounds per item.
|
Mylar® A films are used extensively in a wide variety of markets. Some of them are:
- Apparel stays
- 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)
- Spirit Masters
|
FDA Food Contact Status -
All gauges of Mylar® A comply with the Food and Drug Administration regulation 21 CFR 177.1630 -- Polyethylene phthalate polymers. This regulation describes films which may be safely used in contact with all types of food excluding alcoholic beverages. Uncoated films such as Mylar® A can be used to contain foods during oven cooking or oven baking at temperatures above 250 °F.
