Mounting Tape
Often used to install carpet, padding, and linoleum. Cotton cloth tape is thicker and stronger than polypropylene and polyethylene tape, but polypropylene and polyethylene tape form stronger bonds.
Polyester plastic tape resists solvents.

Low-Outgassing Mounting Tape
Tested to meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, this tape can mount sensitive electronics while releasing almost no volatile emissions that could damage them, even in a vacuum. Use it where temperatures fluctuate—its polyester backing keeps it from shrinking or stretching. And thanks to its acrylic adhesive, neither heat nor chemicals will cause it to peel off.

Ultra Optically Clear Mounting Tape
With a higher level of clarity than standard tape, this tape is good for joining layers of material that need light to pass through, such as clear plastic and glass. It’s often used to bond layers in digital displays. Tape is produced in a clean room environment, so it’s free of contaminants that could disrupt clarity.

Glue-on-a-Roll
Apply this glue-like tape for a no-mess alternative to liquid adhesives, hot melts, and staples. Also known as adhesive transfer tape, these rolls have a thin film of pressure-sensitive glue on a peel-away liner. They are thinner and more conformable than tape with adhesive on both sides.
467MP and 468MP resist solvents and UV rays.
Rolls that meet ASTM E595, a standard set by NASA, will produce almost no volatile emissions, even in a high vacuum. FDA-compliant rolls are safe for indirect contact with food.
