2. Space blanket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_blanket

   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 ...

3. BoPET - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoPET

   Metallized boPET film, 32 layers of ~14 μm thickness each. BoPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength, [1] chemical stability, [1] dimensional stability, [2] transparency [1] reflectivity, and electrical insulation. [1].

4. Multi-layer insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-layer_insulation

   MLI gives many satellites and other space probes the appearance of being covered with gold foil which is the effect of the amber-coloured Kapton layer deposited over the silver Aluminized mylar. For non-spacecraft applications, MLI works only as part of a vacuum insulation system. [1]

   Mylar balloons are metallic balloons often coated with foil and are commonly used during celebrations. But these popular party items have been known to wreak havoc on electric grids.

7. Metallised film - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallised_film

   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.
