2 MICRON = 2E-6 meters thick Mylar is used in the Sound Lab ESLs.
4 MICRON =4E-6 meters thick Mylar is frequently used in DIY, as it is more robust and can withstand manual application techniques of a high resistive coating. 5-6 micron Mylar is another common ESL thickness.
1 mil = 25.4 microns

SY said:Thinner. Saran Wrap (which no longer contains Saran!) typically runs 2 or 3 mils.
what? no more vinylidene chloride ? many of the Dow consumer products are "no more".
ERICSPEEd said:so is it 0.4 mil or 4 mil?
"4" used as example only
what i have is about twice the thickness(may be more) of saran-wrap. would that be unusable?
This is my experience to, very well to work with and performes fine.5-6 micron Mylar is another common ESL thickness.

I though mettalized mylar had to low a resistance to use?

Capacitors
Basically I'm having fun with making my own:
1) Capacitors
2) Microphones
3) Electrostatic speakers are starting to look pretty $%@##$% interesting now too...
Trying to find aluminized mylar has been a pain in the butt sofar. I've tried (with no response yet) astronomy clubs, hobby shops, and even wrote to an independent space exploration program that is working on solar sails asking for help finding a supplier.
I called Peluso Microphone Lab, and the owner said he'd bust me off a sizeable chunk of sputtered mylar. I think he got the idea that I was going to be his competition eventually and kinda backed out. I shouldn't have sent him my CAD workups of my designs...
