| Mylar® MDA 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 and may be suitable for use in medical applications. General Product Info: Mylar® MDA 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. Typical Applications: - Apparel stays
- Book jackets
- Carbon ribbon
- Control Tape
- Drumheads
- Duct Liners
- Identifications
- Medical Applications
- Membrane touch switches
- Metallized Base
- Pressure Sensitive Labels (plain or metallized)
- Protective surfacing
- Release liners
- Roll leaf (hot stamping)
- Spirit Masters
