Mylar is a kind of plastic, which is been well known for its heat resistance and stiffness. It also helps in insulation of the material in the following ways

? It is been used as an electrical insulating object

? Insulation for tents and houses in cool environment, covering the internal wall with the metalized surface, hence reflecting the heat back in the space

? Insulation for tents and houses in warm environment, covering the external wall with the metalized surface, hence reflecting the heat away from the space

? Five coatings of metalized Mylar in the spacesuit of NASA make it radiation resistant to keep the body temperature of astronauts warm.

? Metalized Mylar blankets for emergency preserve the body heat of shock victim.

? It is also been used as a slim ribbon to make seal between control surface and adjacent structures of airplane, mainly gliders.

? It also insulates light in indoor gardening.

? Aluminized Mylar sheets are not been used as acoustic/ thermal insulation in airplane since Mylar sheet was been considered as a reason for major crash. The investigation of accident confirms that the layer of aluminum stops the Mylar from self-extinguishing.
