Polyester Film and Sheets, Mylar® and DuraLar

The Versatile Wonder

The term &#;polyester&#; most commonly refers to the polymer polyethylene terephthalate, or PET. The go-to commodity film for many every-day products for over 30 years, polyester makes an excellent multipurpose film because of its high mechanical strength, durability, heat tolerance, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability. You&#;ll find polyester in fabrics, finishes on high-quality wood products, beverage and food containers, and insulation for cushions and pillows. You probably have heard the brand name Mylar® used to generically describe plastic film. However, Mylar® is really a brand name for polyester sheets and film.

Polyester Sheets, Film, and Rolls, oh my!

There are so many varieties and brands of polyester to choose from! Grafix Plastics has a huge selection of PET film, sheets and rolls, and can customize them to meet your project&#;s demands.

Grafix Plastics offers several of the more popular versions of Mylar® brand, including Mylar® A film. So if you have a need for honest-to-goodness Mylar® polyester sheets, polyester film, or polyester rolls, we can help &#; whether you&#;re referring to &#;Mylar&#; in the generic sense, or you actually need Mylar® polyester sheets or film from Dupont/Teijin Film Enterprises.

DuraLar&#; &#; Grafix Plastics&#; brand of PET film
