<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 8387652, member: 27832"]I'm not a polymer chemist (I'll try to remember to ask my wife, she was in the business ages ago), but it almost sounds like the old ones are <i>actual</i> Mylar (stretched PET) and the new ones are plain old PET. In fact, if you were getting soot and burning particles, <i>that</i> sounds more like polystyrene. It won't attack your coins like PVC, but it won't necessarily protect them as well, either -- although a <i>flip</i> doesn't seal tightly enough to exclude air, regardless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
