Mylar is the brand name for a special type of stretched polyester film. Melinex and Hostaphan are two other well known trade names for this plastic, which is more generally known as BoPET or biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate.
Several properties of BoPET, including Mylar, make it desirable for commercial applications:
- electric insulator
- transparent
- high tensile strength
- chemical stability
- reflective
- gas barrier
- odor barrier
