PELCO Tabs™, Carbon Conductive Tabs are a significant improvement compared to many of the other common adhesives that have been used in microscopy mounting. Both tab sides have a conductive adhesive with a liner on both sides, a transparent liner and white liner respectively. They are ready for immediate use.

Application of the tab to a mount or surface should be done slowly and carefully to maintain surface smoothness. Outgassing is negligible.

The conductive adhesive is a carbon filled acrylic, free of solvents. It can be removed from the specimen mount with ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol alcohols or our 3M Adhesive Remover 80924 which is solvent free.

This product may also be used for gunshot residue analysis.

Double sided Conductive Tape

These carbon tapes are conductive and may be used conveniently for scanning electron microscopy or EDS applications.
This is the same material as the PELCO Tabs™, Carbon Conductive Tabs (top of page), but in tape form. The tape form allows for special application uses such as custom sizes, cut-outs and shapes. The purity of this tape is identical to the standard tab form. Both sides of the tape have a thick conductive adhesive with a white liner. The double adhesive and conductive design permits quick mounting of samples without using liquid or colloidal adhesives.
The tape is relatively solid and non-porous and does not absorb small samples. The variety of widths affords efficient application to various specimen mount surface sizes.

The tape is easily cut to size and may be quickly applied to a specimen mount or other surface. Carbon or metallic coating normally is applied to the sample and mount. An electrical discharge bridge is then completed from sample, through the copper and its conductive glue to the grounded specimen mount.
The tape is dead soft copper with a conductive acrylic adhesive. It is supplied on a removable liner for easy handling and cutting. The tape offers excellent conductivity through the foil backing.

Cleaning supplies

Pikal^® Paste is a thick paste with a high contents of solids (abrasives) and is supplied in a tin. Yields good results in instrumentation cleaning and surface finishing in manufacturing. Can be used to remove "hard" stains on metal, glass and enamels. Widely used to clean vacuum systems, deposition sources and stainless steel chambers. Can be applied to wipes or cotton swabs for polishing. Test first when used on softer materials such copper, aluminum and soft metal alloys.
