Is this the same mylar material they use to make emergency thermal blankets?

I don't think so. It is the material they use for balloons and children's mirrors.

It' in a mylar "foil pack." Not sure about it's recyclability."You may be familiar with Mylar in shiny helium-filled balloons, solar filters, space blankets, protective plastic coatings or insulators. Here's a look at what Mylar is made of and how Mylar is made.Answer: Mylar is the brand name for a special type of stretched polyester film. Melinex and Hostaphan are two other well known trade names for this plastic, which is more generally known as BoPET or biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate"-About.com

No, its some kind of cloth like material, usually you will find it in packing of heat appliances. the actual heating pad has plastic material on it which is again packed in a cloth like slip like a pillow.

i have only used this once or twice but I think its some kind of thin lightweight mylar or plastic sheeting.

It's made of LDPE (low density polyethylene). It should handle extreme temperatures like a champ.

I think wool is naturally flame resistant. I don't think the blanket has a special chemical in it.

The insulated base appears to be merely a foam sheet that the nylon is flocked onto. All I know for sure is that once you have one of these blankets, you'll love it. I keep mine on the bed year round...it's perfect!! Easy to wash/dry, light weight, just perfect. Who cares about the specifics....I LOVE this blanket!!!

I'm not sure. The Grabber is one side heavy duty tarp, one side reflective thermal blanket with a single grommet in each corner.

The mylar side faces the heat source. I copied the following from an online description of a cool-it mat with mylar and foil: "The highly-reflective mylar reflects heat away from surfaces, while the foil side is orientated away from the heat source to conduct any penetrating heat across its surface thus providing the ultimate in heat protection."

The blanket is heavy weight flame retardant fiberglass, with 1000 degree rating, blanket works great for protection of sparks and flash. Have not used with a cutting torch. Hope this helps you

No it's styafoam and if you heat in it , the warmer will melt. I hope this answers your question

TBH there is not that much of a difference. This one has grommets on four corners, so it would be easier to string up. It is also in my opinion far more durable than your standard Mylar emergency blanket.

These blankets go by many names but they are often refered to as "Casualty Blankets" ... They are similar, in weight, to a medium-thickness of poly-tarp and they have brass grommets (reinforced tie-holes) in each of the 4 corners. They are metalized (foil clad) on one side and reflect heat from a human body or from a camp-fire (onto a thermal "victim") ... These blankets are fairly durable and are frequently hung in diamond or lean-to configuration to shed rain (and dew) and to block wind and reflect camp-fire heat onto the single occupant, to thwart hypothermia at moderate temperatures. They are not magical and they do not do much good below about 55 degrees Fahrenheit and below 48'F they are "fairly useless" BUT they are better than nothing and, in conjunction with a small fire, they can save your life ... In short, they can add a few degrees of comfort and help, with very little pack-weight penalty ... They also make a good ground-cloth, especially under a sleep matt, to prevent thermal loss into the ground. They are reusable and, if cared for, they can be rolled up inside your sleep pad and will last for an entire season, of even longer. Rothco is only one source for these and most all of them are about the same. SOME are NOT "mil-spec" so I would be looking for USGI MIL-SPEC in the description.

You should ask the manufacture of the earthing sheet. Electric blankets arnt good for you tho:/

Hello, Yes they are both made out of the same material. Thank you, Babyhaven

Based on the blanket I purchased, yes. But this includes the "bubble" feature. The product is a heavy duty version of bubble wrap material. 12 millimeters is just under 1/2". In reality the total thickness seems somewhat less than that. But they work really well for controlling evaporation and it has brought the temperature of my unheated pool to the mid '70s. Very nice here in coastal southern california.
