Silver bubble wrap material?

Has anyone seen this silver bubble wrap material? Sorry I don't know what it's called, but it's in the "insulation" area of our hardware.

I've seen this also in some PC grow boxes sold online, and some grow journals also.

My main concerns are
1. Is it a good reflector?
2. Since it is also an insulation material, will it trap the heat in my cab?

I ask these because, unfortunately, mylar and panda film are not available in my area.

Or am I better off with flat white paint?

flat/matt white paint and wait at least a week for the chemicals from the fresh paint to totally disappear.
