Tyvek is not a viable candidate. It decomposes badly under extended
ultraviolet exposure (sunshine).
Mylar may have a problem with long-term decomposition (20 to 30 year
period) depending on its molecular structure. I can't comment further;
I just remember problems with some brands of professional audio tape
breaking down from misformulation in the 1970's, 80's.

[ 1/4" acetate recording tape of the 1950s simply snapped when
