Wavecor Mad caps
I didnt want to derail Dans post . Some pictures of the Madisounds buyout 10uF caps. Yes I was a goober and measured all of mine, lol, as seen on the caps skin.

I can dissect further if needed and get closer to the core of the cap if needed.
Redo ,
I do believe the material to be mylar , it is similar to those safety sleeping bags you can get if you get stuck on the side of the rode. I will still test though, for science and the help and info from Scott.
Out of curiosity , I just tried to pull a single layer in half , its some pretty durable shit . Took some effort.
If we find out otherwise , I found this info interesting . http://usa.dupontteijinfilms.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Mylar_Physical_Properties.pdf
You sure killed that capacitor.
Yellow squished caps are generally polyester "mylar".
"cause I only believe in science" lol . I will test temps , just give me a little .
LOL. I measured mine also, and wrote the value on them. Didn't tear one apart though!
I guess the question is: who didn't measure theirs and write the value on them?
Mine are also all labeled with a Sharpie indicating an accurate value.

I miss these caps, great for big caps on low-crossed mids. I wish I woulda bought a stockpile. I actually have had a few circuits where I preferred their sound to brand name caps, even being polyester vs pp..
