An aluminum coating on this film reflects heat, so it’s widely used as an insulator and in packaging applications. Made of polyester, which is also called PET and PETE, this wear-resistant film is comparable to Mylar.
High-Temperature Moisture-Resistant Polyester Film
Often used as a separator when heating parts in an oven, this wear-resistant film can also protect surfaces when etching or sanding. Also called PET and PETE, polyester resists swelling when exposed to moisture. When used as a separator, film should be cut larger than the piece it is being released from.
Film with a coarse texture masks scuffs, scratches, and fingerprints.
Film with a smooth texture releases cleanly from rubber and most synthetic resins. This film is skived, so the edges may curl.

UV- and Moisture-Resistant Polyester Sheets
- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -40° to 230°F
- Tensile Strength: 10,000 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 0.53 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell M93 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM D5927, ASTM D6261
These black polyester sheets protect from UV rays better than off-white polyester. Strong and semi-rigid, they won't swell in moist environments, so they're often made into pump components and spacers. They’re wear resistant and easy to machine. This material is also called PET and PETE.
Powder Coatings
More durable and scratch resistant than liquid paint, use this dry paint with your powder coating system. Apply directly to unpainted metal and heat-cure in an oven for a smooth, baked-on finish.
