Polyester Film and PET Film: Electrical Insulation Guide

Polyester film (PET / Mylar-type) is the most common electrical insulation film. Keywords: polyester film, PET film, Mylar film, electrical insulation film.

Gala lists 0.012–0.350 mm and polyester tape with slitting.

First choice for volume; switch to polyimide on hotspots. Industries: motors, cable, electronics, panels, coil shops.

This guide covers uses, naming, PET vs polyimide and supply.

“PET film offers electrical, chemical and thermal resistance with strong mechanical properties.” — Gala Elektrik, About Us

Applications

Slots/phases, cable wrap, laminate cores, electronics barriers. Tension and edge quality matter.

Thickness follows voltage and bend radius.

Protect from moisture; FIFO.

Naming

Mylar is a brand; PET/polyester is the family. State brand requirements clearly.

“Electrical insulation film” may mean PET or polyimide — clarify.

Naming confusion causes delays.

PET vs polyimide

Volume/cost → PET; hotspots → polyimide. Mixed BOMs are normal.

See polyimide film and Filmcutter laminates.

Deciding without a heat map is risky.

Supply

Slitting cuts scrap. TR stock; docs for export.

RFQ: thickness, width, meters, use, country.

Sample → frame order.
