By the 1960s Mylar® and cellophane generated almost two-thirds of the sales of the Film Department and practically all of its earnings. Today, the versatility of Mylar® continues to be one of its major strengths: perforated Mylar® film is used as food wrap and instrument manufacturers produce high-quality drumheads from Mylar®. The product’s balance of properties and wide range of capabilities make it ideal in a broad array of applications in the electrical, electronics, magnetic media, imaging and graphics, and packaging markets.
