    Ultra-Electrically-Insulating Polyester Film

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Ultra-Electrically-Insulating Polyester Film.
    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 Polyester Film

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. High-Temperature 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.
    Skived—Skived products are more likely to curl than extruded and molded products.
    Smooth Texture—Film with a smooth texture releases cleanly from rubber and most synthetic resins.
    Rough Texture—The rough texture masks scratches, scuffs, and fingerprints.
