Feb. 12—The Public Service Company of New Mexico has released a reminder to keep Mylar balloons away from power lines this Valentine's Day. "Mylar balloons are made of metallic materials that ...
Mylar balloons can cause headaches for linemen in a couple of scenarios: They can get caught between and make contact with wires, or they can float directly into transformers. A cluster of ...
The balloon law prohibits the sale or distribution of a balloon that is constructed of electrically conductive material (metallized Mylar or foil) and filled with a gas lighter than air (helium), without affixing an object of sufficient weight to the balloon to counter the lift capability, affixing a specified warning statement on the balloon ...
Biaxially oriented PET (BOPET) film (including brands like "Mylar") can be aluminized by evaporating a thin film of metal onto it to reduce its permeability, and to make it reflective and opaque . These properties are useful in many applications, including flexible food packaging and thermal insulation (such as space blankets ).
A space blanket (also known as a Mylar blanket, emergency blanket, first aid blanket, safety blanket, thermal blanket, weather blanket, heat sheet, foil blanket, or shock blanket) is an especially low-weight, low-bulk blanket made of heat-reflective thin plastic sheeting. They are used on the exterior surfaces of spacecraft for thermal control ...
Utility companies have warned for years about the hazards of Mylar balloons and that message resounded Thursday across New Orleans as most of the city's nearly 370,000 residents were under a boil ...
The coating also reduces the permeability of the film to light, water and oxygen. The properties of the film remain, such as higher toughness, the ability to be heat sealed, and a lower density at a lower cost than an aluminium foil. This gives metallised films some advantages over aluminium foil and aluminium foil laminates.
