Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is Mylar film made of?

Mylar is a brand name for biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BoPET). It's a polyester film known for its strength, clarity, and versatility.

2. Is Mylar film conductive or insulating?

Standard Mylar is a non-conductive insulator, but metalized Mylar variants provide EMI shielding capabilities.

3. Can Mylar film be used in high-temperature environments?

Yes. It maintains performance in temperatures ranging from -60°C to 150°C, and some variants are rated for even higher.

4. Is Mylar film food-safe?

Yes, food-grade Mylar is safe for food packaging and widely used for long-term food storage.

5. Does Mylar block UV light?

Only UV-resistant versions are formulated to block or resist UV rays. Standard Mylar may degrade with prolonged UV exposure.

6. Can it be recycled?

Yes. Mylar is recyclable and many versions meet RoHS and environmental standards.

7. Is metalized Mylar waterproof?

Metalized Mylar has excellent moisture and oxygen barrier properties, making it suitable for vacuum sealing and moisture-sensitive packaging.
