Industrielle Verwendung
Polyester film is a transparent, flexible film, ranging from 0.15 to 14 mils in thickness, used as a product component, in industrial processes, and for packaging. The most widely used type is produced from polyethylene terephthalate (i.e., Mylar). The range of properties outlined above has made polyester film functional in many totally different industrial applications and suggests its use in numerous other ways. The largest current user of the film is the electrical and electronic market, which uses it as slot liners in motors and as the dielectric for capacitors, replacing other materials that are less effective, bulkier, and more expensive. It is found in hundreds of wire and cable types, sometimes used primarily as an insulating material, sometimes for its mechanical and physical contributions to wire and cable construction. Reduced cost of materials and processing and improved cable performance result. As a surfacing material, polyester film is used on both flexible and rigid substrates for both protective and decorative purposes. Metallized, laminated to vinyl, and embossed, the film becomes interior trim for automobiles, for example. In the packaging field, polyester film serves in areas where other materials fail or have functional disadvantages. In window cartons it lasts longer and does not break as other materials do; its toughness permits transparent packaging of heavy items; and, coated with polyethylene, it has made possible the heat-in-the-bag method of frozen-food preparation.
