Mylar

Mylar film is a tough, clear, 100% synthetic polyester resin film combining outstanding durability, dimensional stability and electrical, thermal and barrier properties. It is completely neutral in pH and of great clarity. Mylar is not affected by oils and greases and will function up to 300°F, retaining its clarity, flexibility and toughness. Mylar film contains no plasticizers to migrate out onto art or documents. These films are either Mylar or Melinex 516. Smaller rolls are available in 1 ml, 2 ml, and 5 ml thicknesses; please inquire.

Dartek

Dartek is 0.75 mil thick, clear cast Type 6,6 nylon film with no plasticizers, additives or surface coatings of any kind. It is much like Mylar, but softer. As Dartek comes 80 inches wide, conservators find it is useful as a covering membrane for lining paintings on a vacuum hot table. Dartek conforms easily, is clear, does not puncture readily and does not appear to stick to painting surfaces. Dartek is sensitive to moisture. The film normally contains about 1 or 2% moisture as shipped. At a relative humidity of 80%, Dartek will absorb water up to a moisture content of about 6%. The physical properties of this film are greatly influenced by the water content. At low water content, Dartek seems brittle like Mylar but as its water content increases, Dartek becomes softer and tougher. Dartek also becomes softer as it is heated and it does retain its useful properties up to about 400°F.
