Quality Plastic Film and Plastic Sheets
The insulation properties of our products
Dura-Bright™ sheets have good insulation properties, but not as good as those of polyester film products like Duralar™ and Mylar®. DuraBright sheets are not as heat-resistant as polyester films, but they do hold up better in cold temperatures.
Does translucent imaging film (TIF) have good insulation properties? Sort of. TIF is made from polyester film, which has great insulation properties. However, its functional coatings are not meant for exposure to either elevated or reduced temperatures. Therefore, we can not recommend this material for any sort of insulation application.
Do our surface protection films (SPF) have good insulation properties? Not really. Our SPF films are not designed to be exposed to either elevated or reduced temperatures. However, we can, on a custom basis, make you a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) film with adhesives that are optimized for use in specific elevated or reduced temperature environments. … Read more
Do our DuraLar™ pressure-sensitive adhesive films (PSA) have good insulation properties? Sort of. PSA film is made from polyester film, which has great insulation properties. However, its adhesive coatings are not meant for exposure to elevated or reduced temperatures. Therefore we can not recommend this material for any sort of insulation application. We can, on … Read more
Do polypropylene sheets (PP) have good insulation properties? Yes, but not as good as those of polyester film products. PP sheets are not as heat-resistant, but hold up very well in cold temperatures.
Does Metallized DuraLar™ reflective film have good insulation properties? Yes! Its combination of thermal and barrier properties make it an excellent film for many thermal insulation applications. Its metal coating also acts as a barrier enhancement, while reflecting in-frared radiation. All polyester films have very good insulation properties; Metallized DuraLar takes that performance to the … Read more
Does LaserPro™ laser cuttable film have good insulation properties? Sort of. LaserPro is made from polyester film, which has great insulation properties. However, its functional coatings are not meant for exposure to elevated or reduced temperatures. Therefore we can not recommend this material for any sort of insulation application.
Does ComputerGrafix™ laser-printable film have good insulation properties? Sort of. Laser-printable film is made from polyester film, which has great insulation properties. However, its functional coatings are not meant for exposure to elevated or reduced temperatures. Therefore we can not recommend this material for any sort of insulation application.
Does ComputerGrafix™ inkjet-printable film have good insulation properties? Sort of. Inkjet-printable film is made from polyester film, which has great insulation properties. However, its functional coatings are not meant for exposure to elevated or reduced temperatures. Therefore we can not recommend this material for any sort of insulation application.
Do HDPE sheets have good insulation properties? Yes, but not as good as those of polyester film products. Because HDPE is a polyethylene polymer, it’s not as heat-resistant as polyester film. Where HDPE excels is in low temperature applications. HDPE can be cooled down to -100 degrees Fahrenheit without becoming brittle.
