Polyethylene terephthalate.
Mylar is a British trade name for BoPET(Biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate) a strong polyester film used in packaging, insulation and many other applications.
Polyethylene terephthalate (sometimes written poly(ethylene terephthalate)), commonly abbreviated PET, PETE, or the obsolete PETP or PET-P), is a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family and is used in synthetic fibers; beverage, food and other liquid containers; thermoforming applications; and engineering resins often in combination with glass fiber.

Polyethylene terephthalate (sometimes written poly(ethylene terephthalate), commonly abbreviated PET, PETE, or the obsolete PETP or PET-P, is a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family and is used in synthetic fibers; beverage, food and other liquid containers; thermoforming applications; and engineering resins often in combination with glass fiber. Depending on its processing and thermal history, polyethylene terephthalate may exist both as an amorphous (transparent) and as a semi-crystalline polymer. The semicrystalline material might appear transparent (particle size < 500 nm) or opaque and white (particle size up to a few microns) depending on its crystal structure and particle size.
Is it "polyethylene terephthalate"? Probably, and if so it's perfectly safe. Polyethylene terephthalate is the plastic soda bottles are made from.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fits the definition of a polyester so the name is redundant. I think PETP is simply an old abbreviation for PET.
The components used to make Polyethylene terephthalate is plastics. They take recycled plastics and mold them into polyethylene terephthalate. If you want the chemical formula for polyethylene that would be (C10H8O4)n.
