…further reduce its oxygen permeability. Non-oriented PET sheet can be thermoformed to make packaging trays and blister packs. Both amorphous PET and biaxially oriented PET (BoPET) are transparent to the naked eye. Dyes can easily be formulated into PET sheet. PET is permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide and this imposes…

NASA's Technology Transfer Office at Stennis Space Center worked with a New Orleans seafood packaging company to develop a container to improve the shipping longevity of seafood, primarily frozen and fresh fish, while preserving the taste. A NASA engineer developed metalized heat resistant polybags with thermal foam liners using an enhanced version of the metalized mylar commonly known as "space blanket material," which was produced during the Apollo era.
