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

Mylar = tin?

Molten polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is extruded as a thin film onto a chilled surface, such as a roller.

thats alumnium oxide derrivitive

IE tin foil

Alright, <@!524800134651969545> has been warned for '**Bad word usage**'.

mylar is literally tin foil and plastic

its not magic

please expand your vocabulary :3

The BoPet film was developed by DuPont, Hoechst, and Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) in the 1950s. NASA's Echo II balloon was launched in 1964. The Echo balloon was 40 meters in diameter and constructed of 9 micrometers thick Mylar film sandwiched between layers of 4.5 micrometers of thick aluminum foil<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

sien its tin foil and plastic

calm down

mylar isnt something sent down from zeus to nasa

lmao

omg

ok

sorry

alumnium foil

my bad

thats totally changes it

lmao

omg

folgers fresh wrap rocket alumnium foil

I kissed him then cheated on him with a skeleton in biology class

is this alot better

it has extra polymers

so you know its space worthy

How Mylar Is Made

Molten polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is extruded as a thin film onto a chilled surface, such as a roller.
The film is drawn biaxially. Special machinery may be used to draw the film in both directions at once. More commonly, the film is drawn first in one direction and then in the transverse (orthogonal) direction. Heated rollers are effective for achieving this.
Finally, the film is heat set by holding it under tension above 200 °C (392 °F)<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
A pure film is so smooth it sticks to itself when rolled, so inorganic particles may be embedded in the surface. Vapor deposition may be used to evaporate gold, aluminum or another metal onto the plastic.

392

Over the course of a full lunar day and night, the temperature on the Moon can vary wildly, from around +200 to -200 degrees Celsius (+392 <<<<<<<to -328 degrees Fahrenheit), so it’s natural to wonder how lunar astronauts survived this huge temperature variation.

ooopsies

mylar aint helping the debate

sorry

invalid and void

right there

mylar is awesome for radiation shielding

i love destroying mylar

its like a gods shield for nasa
