Compression set data

Compression set data

Compression set data

(OP)
Does anyone have any data regarding compression set values for Melinex 378 and Kapton 100 HN films? (i.e. the percentage permanent deformation that occurs under a sustained load).

I know, its a long shot ...

RE: Compression set data

Melinex is bi axially oriented PET. There might be some data available from the PET beverage bottle industry, although it is more likely to be creep under tension.

Melinex/Mylar are also used in sails. There might also be some data there.
