Mylar is often used to generically refer to polyester film or plastic sheet. However, it is a registered trademark owned by Dupont Tejjin Films for a specific family of plastic sheet products made from the resin Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). The true generic term for this material is Polyester Film or Plastic Sheet. Mylar bags combined with oxygen absorbers stored in a rigid container have been shown to be the ideal way to store dehydrated goods for long-term storage. Mylar bags protect your food investment from the effects of oxygen, moisture contamination, and light penetration. These Mylar bags are 7.0 mils, and provides excellent long-term storage of dehydrated foods and has an FDA approved sealant layer. Mylar®, a Polyester bag is ideal for a broad array of applications in the electrical, electronics, magnetic media, industrial specialty, imaging and graphics, and packaging markets. These Mylar bags can be heat sealed with a standard clothes iron on the wool setting or a hair straightener. Add your dehydrated food to the Mylar bag, place appropriate number of oxygen absorber on top (2000cc-2500cc), and push out as much residual air as possible before sealing the bag. All Mylar bags should be placed in a rigid container such as a plastic bucket to protect the integrity of the bag as well as to avoid rodents and bug infestation. Unused oxygen absorbers can be resealed in their original bag, placed in a mason jar, or heat sealed in a Mylar bag.
