	Your choices are...
	Aramid Fiber (e.g., Kevlar^®)		Aramid fibers are polyimide (polyphthalamide), fiber-based reinforcements such as DuPont’s Kevlar^® fiber material. Aromatic polyimides are some of the most thermally-stable organic materials known.
	Cloth / Fabric (Woven)		Cloth products incorporate woven cloth or a fabric layer or layers for reinforcement, improved strength, heat resistance, or electrical properties.
	Composite		Composite materials are reinforced with fiberglass, aramid fiber, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE), or high-modulus polyethylene fiber, carbon fiber, or graphite fiber.
	Felt / Non-woven		Felt or non-woven tape, film, or laminate is applied to substrates to prevent scratching.
	Fiberglass		Products are reinforced with fiberglass or a fiberglass composite material.
	Filament		Filament is generically referred to as strapping tape. Filament tape draws its strength from thousands of individual filaments woven into yarns that are embedded in adhesive on the tape's backing.
	Foam		Adhesive-coated polyolefin foams include an adhesive that is protected by a liner in the form of a tape, film, or laminate.
	Metal Foil / Sheet		Metal foil tapes have aluminum, aluminum-reinforced, and lead backings
	Aluminum Foil / Sheet		Aluminum foil is laminated to paper or plastic films for improved strength. Foil provides a light and less expensive form of protection for foods, medicines, and other products that can be damaged by the environment.
	Copper Foil / Sheet		Electrodeposited copper foil is used in the manufacture of multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs). Several copper foil thicknesses are available. The PCB application determines the proper thickness to select. Thicker copper foil carries more current and has less impedance than thinner foil. As a rule, doubling the foil thickness increases the current capacity 1.4 times.
	Paper		Paper or flatback products have a paper backing.
	Plastic / Polymer		Plastic products incorporate one or more plastic layers, or consist of plastic film or sheets that can be clear or colored, printed or plain, single-layered or multilayered, and combined with materials such as aluminum and paper. There are two general categories of plastics: thermoplastics and thermosets.
	Acrylic / Acrylate		Acrylic films are plastic or thermoplastic resin films manufactured using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or polymethyl-2-methylpropanoate. PMMA resins are the result of polymerization of acrylic acid derivatives or other acrylate compounds such as esters of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, and their copolymers. Acrylic films have good optical properties (clarity) and are UV stable. Plexiglas^®(Altofina Chemicals, Inc) is a common acrylic sheet and film material.
	Epoxy		Materials have an epoxy resin matrix reinforced with fibers or cloth made of glass, ceramic, cotton, aramid, or other high-strength polymers.
	Fluoropolymer		Fluoropolymer films, layers, or coatings consist of plastics such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Fluoropolymer coatings are used in applications that require superior chemical resistance, good dielectric properties, and water and stain repellent characteristics. Fluoropolymers are also used in applications where the material handled must not stick to the belt, fabric, or laminate. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an insoluble compound that exhibits a high degree of chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction. It is sometimes marketed in proprietary classes of materials such as Teflon^®, a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers.
	Melamine		Materials use a melamine resin matrix reinforced with fibers or cloth made of glass, ceramic, cotton, aramid or other high-strength polymers.
	PET / Polyester		PET / polyester products use a polyethylene teraphthalate (PET) or polyester backing in the form of tape, film, or laminate.
	Polycarbonate		Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic material with excellent toughness and transparency characteristics.
	Polyethylene (PE, HDPE, UHMW PE)		Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polyolefin resin. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polymers are used to form a variety of common or commodity-plastic components. High density (HDPE) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) have good friction and mechanical properties. They are used in medical devices, wear parts, and engineered components.
	Polyimide (e.g., Kapton^®)		Polyimide film maintains its excellent physical, mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties over a wide range of physical environments. Kapton^® tape is made of polyimide film and a heat-resistant silicone adhesive. Kapton is a registered trademark of DuPont Teijin Films. Polyimide films are very useful substrates for the manufacture of flexible circuit materials.
	PVC / Vinyl		PVC / vinyl products use a vinyl or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) backing in the form of a tape, film, or laminate.
	Rubber		Products use a rubber backing in the form of a tape, film, or laminate.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted backing materials.

Adhesive Specifications


	Coating Type
	Your choices are...
	Single-Sided		Only one side of the backing or carrier is coated with adhesive.
	Double-Sided		Both sides of the backing or carrier are coated with adhesive. Two different pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) can be used on each side. This is useful for applications that involve bonding together very dissimilar materials. Double-sided products are supplied with a coated release liner.
	Transfer		Transfer tape is a highly versatile product that consists of a thin adhesive film without a carrier or backing. It can be readily transferred to most dry surfaces from a peel-away release liner.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Adhesive Type:
	Your choices are...
	Acrylic		Acrylic adhesives provide excellent environmental resistance and faster setting times than other resin systems.
	Cellulose / Gum		Cellulose or gum adhesives are made with a plant base, and are used to seal paper envelopes. Some gums require moisture for sealing. Others, such as latex gums, adhere to themselves.
	Epoxy		Epoxy resins are adhesives that exhibit high strength and low shrinkage during curing. Epoxies are known for their toughness and resistance to chemical and environmental damage.
	Glue / Water Activated		Glue or water-activated adhesive coatings are dry to the touch and may be activated by moistening the coating with water.
	Heat Bond / Activated		Heat activated, thermally activating, or heat bond adhesives become tacky or sticky when heat is applied. The adhesive may soften, but not necessarily melt.
	Polyurethane		Polyurethane (PUR) and isocyanate adhesives provide excellent flexibility, impact resistance, and durability.
	Pressure Sensitive (PSA)		Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) or contact adhesives are aggressively and permanently tacky at room temperature in dry (solvent free) form. They adhere firmly to a variety of dissimilar surfaces upon contact, requiring only the application of finger or hand pressure. PSAs do not require water, solvent, or heat activation in order to exert a strong adhesive force on materials such as paper, plastic, glass, wood, cement, and metal. PSAs have a sufficiently cohesive holding and elastic nature so that, despite their aggressive tackiness, they can be manipulated by hand and removed from smooth surfaces without leaving a residue. In terms of general trade usage, leading tape manufacturers do not sanction the extension of the term “pressure sensitive” to include tapes and adhesives just because they are sticky (e.g., fly-paper), or just because they adhere or cohere.
	Rubber		Rubber-based adhesives provide highly flexible bonds and are usually based on butadiene-styrene, butyl, polyisobutylene, or nitrile compounds.
	Silicone		Silicone adhesives and sealants have a high degree of flexibility and very high temperature resistance.
	Thermoplastic / Hot Melt		Hot melt adhesives can be repeatably softened and melted by heat, and hardened or set by cooling. Cooling allows the removal or repositioning of parts during assembly.
	Thermoset / Crosslinked		Thermoset adhesives are crosslinked polymeric resins cured with heat, or heat and pressure.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted adhesive types.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Substrate / Material Compatibility



	Your choices are...
	Ceramic / Glass		Ceramics consist of oxides, carbides, nitrides, carbons, and other non-metals with high melting points. Ceramics are suitable for applications requiring wear resistance, refractoriness, low electrical resistivity, or other specialized characteristics.
	Concrete / Masonry		Concrete and cements consist of a mixture of a binder or clinker and a coarser aggregate used to patch, line floors or walls, bond together brick, and join components for use in high-temperature applications. Clinker is a fused mineral or mineral mixture, such as alumina or bauxite and lime, which is crushed into a fine powder to manufacture cements. Aggregates are coarser, granular materials that are added to mortar, grout, or cement at time of mixing to impart special properties (refractoriness, erosion resistance, oxidation resistance). Synthetic aggregates are fused mineral or mineral mixtures crushed to a coarse granular size range rather than a fine powdered clinker. Portland cement is the most common bond used in structural concretes and mortars. Polymer cements have a resin bond and are used in corrosion protection, mortars for corrosion resistance floor tiles and other specialized industrial applications. Masonry consists of tile, bricks, stone, or other ceramic components bond together with mortar or adhesive.
	Composites		Composite materials typically consist of a matrix and a dispersed, fibrous, or continuous second phase. The second phase may reinforce (strengthen or stiffen), alter electrical or magnetic properties, or enhance wear or erosion resistance.
	Leather / Footwear		Adhesives and sealants are designed for footwear and leather construction applications.
	Metal		Metals are opaque, fusible, ductile, and typically lustrous substances that are good conductors of heat and electricity. They form cations by loss of electrons and yield basic oxides and hydroxides. Metals are useful in structural engineering applications because they typically have high toughness, and a combination of both high strength and ductility.
	Paper / Paperboard		Paper or paperboard products are produced from a pulp of cellulose, cotton, wood, or other vegetable fibers. The pulp is laid down on a fine screen from a water suspension to form sheets that are dried and further processed.
	Plaster / Plasterboard		Substrates are plaster or gypsum based materials such as plasterboard or spackling compound.
	Plastic		Plastic substrates are organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers with high molecular weights. Plastics can be made into objects, films, or filaments.
	Porous Surfaces		Porous surfaces are capable of bonding to porous materials or rough surfaces such as open-celled foams, concrete, and sintered materials. Typically, adhesives or sealants with a high viscosity or gel-like consistency function with porous or rough surfaces.
	Rubber / Elastomer		Rubber and elastomers are characterized by a high degree of flexibility and elasticity (high reversible elongation). Natural or synthetic rubber is vulcanized to increase its useful properties (e.g., toughness and resistance to wear) for applications such as tires, electrical insulation, and waterproof materials. Vulcanization is a chemical treatment using sulfur addition and heat to crosslink the rubber. Natural rubber is an elastic substance obtained by coagulating the milky juice of any of various tropical plants. Natural rubber is essentially a polymer of isoprene, and is prepared as sheets and then dried. Synthetic rubbers or elastomers can be based on a variety of systems such as silicone, polyurethane, or neoprene.
	Textiles / Fabrics		Textiles or fabrics adhesives or sealants are suitable for coating, filling, sizing, or sealing non-woven or woven textiles. Sizing adhesives or resins are used to fill in paper, textile webs, or other fibrous products.
	Wood / Wood Product		Wood is a natural composite extracted from the stems, branches, and roots of trees. It is a hard fibrous substance consisting of xylem, cellulose fibers in an amorphous lignin polymer matrix. Lignin is a biogenetic crosslinked polymer that bonds adjacent cell walls together into a straw or wood tissue composite. Cellulose is a polysaccharide (C₆H₁₀O₅)_x of glucose units that constitutes the chief part of the cell walls of plants. It occurs naturally in fibrous products such as cotton and kapok, and is the raw material in many manufactured goods (e.g., paper, rayon, and cellophane).
	Other		Other unlisted, specialty, or proprietary substrates.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Dissimilar Substrates?		Products can bond dissimilar substrates such as metal to rubber.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

Features



	Your choices are...
	Anti-Reflection		Anti-reflection products are coated films or tapes with a thin-film coating for reducing reflection. The idea behind anti-reflection coatings is that the creation of a double interface via thin film provides two reflected waves. If these waves are out of phase, they partially or totally cancel each other. If the coating is a quarter-wavelength in thickness and has an index of refraction less that of the glass, the coating has two reflections that are 180° out of phase.
	Blank Label Stock		The label stock, film, liner or tape is blank and ready to accept printing or graphics.
	Pre-Printed Text / Labeling		The tape, film, liner, or label stock is already printed with text or labeling.
	Graphic Design / Decorative		These products have a decorative pattern or graphic design printed, embossed, or embedded in the surface. Patterns and designs may include logos, floral patterns, geometric designs, or images.
	Chemical Resistant		Products are resistant to chemicals, including solvents.
	Coated		Coated products are precision-coated through a thin-film deposition (sputtering, PVD, CVD), dyeing, laminating, spray coating, roll coating, or other web coating process. Coatings provide scratch resistance, control friction or adhesion (controlled COF), and release. They also improve print reception, alter optical transmission or reflection, and provide decorative characteristics.
	Cryogenic		Cryogenic products can withstand or be used under very low temperature conditions. They include labels or marking tapes for biological samples stored in liquid nitrogen.
	Die Cut / Patches		Products are supplied in patches that are die cut.
	Dielectric / Insulating		Dielectric tapes are used as membrane dielectrics in multilayer capacitors. These tapes consist of an acrylic polymer mixed with a dielectric solid.
	Electrically Conductive		Electrically conductive products can conduct electricity and provide protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD). They may also provide shielding from electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). Conductive tapes and films are used in electrical heating element and other electronics applications.
	Anti-static / ESD Control		Tapes or film products have anti-static, static dissipating, or electrostatic discharge (ESD) control features. Typically, ESD control products have conductive, friction reducing, or ionizing characteristics.
	EMI / RFI Shielding		EMI or RFI shielding products can provide protection or shielding from electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). Most shielding uses a conductive material to surround the device or equipment requiring shielding. Conductive EMI shielding works on the electric field portion of the electromagnetic wave or interference. Magnetic shielding is less common.
	Laminated		Products consist of filaments, foils, or fabric that is bonded or laminated onto the carrier film to enhance strength or other properties.
	Low Transfer / Extractable		Silicone or other chemicals are difficult to extract from the release or adhesive coating for transfer to the substrate.
	Metallized		Products have a metallized layer, metallic appearance, or thin-film coating.
	Moisture / Vapor Barrier		The film, liner or tape material can block the transmission or permeation of moisture or vapor. Moisture and vapor barriers are often used in construction applications in walls, roofs, and foundations.
	Non-Skid / Anti-slip		Non-skid and anti-slip products are textured or abrasive-coated to prevent skidding on a surface.
	Permanent		Once applied, products become permanently bonded to the substrate.
	Protective		Products are used to form a protective layer on the substrate, and to provide protection against wear, corrosion, dust, water, electrical discharges, oil or grease, and other environmental conditions.
	Reflective		Reflective products are highly visible and provide warnings about unsafe conditions. Reflective tapes are used in rotating or moving equipment to trigger proximity sensors, or enable a tachometer to make readings.
	Removeable		Removable tapes can be applied and then removed without damaging the substrate, but not necessarily reused or repositioned.
	Repositionable		After application onto a substrate, the tape can be removed and/or repositioned indefinitely - or at least during assembly - without damaging the substrate or tape product.
	Sealable / Controlled COF		Sealable or controlled COF films or liners are designed with a controlled coefficient of friction to allow control of sealing, slip, or bonding between layers.
	Tested to IPC		Products are tested according to standards or test methods developed or adopted by the Institute of Printed Circuits (IPC) or IPC - Association of Connecting Electronics Industries. IPC was known formerly as the Institute of Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits.
	Thermally Insulating / Insulative		Thermally insulating or insulative products, such as structural insulative panels (SIP), provide insulation from heat.
	Transparent		Transparent products allow the transmission of light. A tape is rated as transparent if 10-point type can be read easily when the tape is applied directly over it.
	UL Listed		Products are approved for use by Underwriters Laboratory (UL).
	UV / Weather Resistant		Weather resistant products are suitable for outdoor use and resistant to ultraviolet (UV) light, cold, heat, water or other weather conditions.
	Other		Other unlisted or proprietary features.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
