The SKC safety data sheet for Skyrol polyester film describes a plain PET material: more than 99 percent polyethylene terephthalate, melting at roughly 256 to 265°C, with no odor and a specific gravity of 1.40
Before an order, a buyer’s safety team usually asks one question about SKC Skyrol PET Film: what is in it, and how does it behave? The first three sections of SKC’s safety data sheet answer that in a few lines.
What Is the Material?
According to the sheet, the material name is Skyrol polyester film, and the same sheet covers a family of grades whose names follow the pattern S followed by a letter and then numbers or letters. This is why the sheet is titled for SH94 but applies to the whole series. Skyrol is a registered trademark of SKC. The chemical name is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the sheet gives the chemical formula as the repeating PET unit.
The manufacturer is SKC Co., Ltd., of Suwon, Korea, and the sheet lists an emergency telephone number for the company.
What Is It Made Of?
- Chemical: polyethylene terephthalate
- CAS number: 25038-59-9
- Content: more than 99 percent by weight
The CAS number is the same one that appears on the Toray Lumirror safety data sheet guide, which is what you would expect, since both films are PET.
What Are Its Physical Properties?
- Melting point: about 256 to 265°C
- Boiling point, vapor pressure, and pH: listed as not applicable
- Specific gravity: 1.40
- Appearance: clear or hazy, and yellowish, bluish, white, or black, with no odor
The range of appearances in the sheet reflects the range of grades covered: clear, hazy, colored, and pigmented. A white film such as SKC Skyrol SW83G PET Film lists a density of about 1.5 on its own information sheet, a little higher than the 1.40 here. That is consistent with added pigment making a film slightly denser (a general explanation, not stated in the sheet).
How It Compares with the Toray Sheet
The Toray sheet gives a melting point of 263°C, which sits inside SKC’s 256 to 265°C range. Both describe PET as the only component. The two sheets are laid out differently and cover different parts of the topic, so read each one for its own fire, health, and handling information. One point from the Toray sheet worth repeating: its label limits food contact to specific grades. For SKC, check the individual grade information, and do not assume food contact from this sheet.
What the Text Available Here Does Not Cover

- No statement on food contact is given in the sections shown.
