Mylar HS heat shrinkable polyester film
DESCRIPTION
Du Pont's MYLAR HS is an uncoated, transparent polyester film designed for heat shrink applications. It is currently available in 37,5 micron, and other thicknesses may be made available upon special request.
CHARACTERISTICS
Unlike most PET films, MYLAR HS is not heat stabilized, and will shrink with considerable force when exposed to heat. Immersion of the film in boiling water will produce appriximately 50% shrinkage.
USES
- Winding of coils, to increase pressure on conductors on curing. Usually above resin rich Mica tapes
- Is a tool during moulding, shaping or jigging operations. The bonding is the result of tape's shrinking under heat effect. During moulding or jigging operations the tape can be wrapped on the different parts of the mould that have been applied to the material that is to shape, the shrinking tape brings together the different parts of the mould, so as to obtain exactly the required section tape.
- Heat shrinkable tubes and bags.
