What’s It to You? (1955)

The new film was designed to demonstrate dramatically the properties and suggested uses of the new product. A technician swings a baseball bat at a thin sheet of Mylar and can’t break it. An acrobat throws his weight on the film and it bounces him back into the air. A girl trapeze artist swings safely on a thin strip of Mylar. The picture was intended primarily for executive and technical personnel in manufacturing and convertising organizations to whom it is being shown by duPont sales personnel. Its impact can be assayed from convincing demonstrations that show how hot steam cannot change the film’s properties; nor does dry ice at 80 degrees below zero damage it. Similarly, acids are shown dissolving jewelry in a Mylar bag without affecting the bag itself
