mylar
Shiny balloon skin
Mylar is sometimes used generically for any thin, reflective polyester film, though technically it's a brand name.
The material appears in emergency blankets, balloon decorations, and food packaging.
The mylar balloons lasted for weeks.
In everyday speech, people rarely capitalize it: Cover the windows with mylar to block the heat. (Capitalized Mylar is the trademark.)
