What does MYLAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
trademark
A thin, strong polyester film, originally a trademark, widely used for balloons, insulation and packaging.
Mylar began as a registered trade name for a polyester film developed by a chemical company, but the word has since become the common way to describe that shiny, lightweight plastic sheeting wherever it turns up. Its resistance to tearing and its reflective surface make mylar useful for party balloons, emergency blankets, insulation and food packaging. Although the trademark still exists, mylar is now written and spoken as an ordinary generic word much like xerox or pyrex.
