    Plastic adhesives are one-part adhesives that don’t need to be mixed. Dry to the touch and faster and easier to apply than two-part adhesives, they’re best for use on automated assembly lines. Often used to join solar cells in solar panels, these adhesives make instant electrical connections without flux at lower temperatures than soldering. Since they attach to solar cells with heat and slight pressure, they limit stress cracks that can form when soldering. These adhesives can also be used as a bridge between multiple solar panels.

    Low-Outgassing Mounting Tape

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Mounting Tape. 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.

    Conductive Glue-on-a-Roll

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Mounting Adhesives. Conductive Glue-on-a-Roll.
    Attach EMI/RFI shields and gaskets to electronics housings—these rolls are loaded with conductive fibers. Also known as adhesive transfer tape, they have a thin film of pressure-sensitive glue on a peel-away liner. Unlike screws, they won’t leave gaps for EMI to get in. They’re also more conformable than tape with adhesive on both sides.

    A high silver content allows these surface fillers to conduct electricity and heat. Use them to fill gaps and rebuild missing material on electrical connections or to assemble new components. They come as two parts. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts.
    Thermal Conductivity—Thermal conductivity measures a material’s ability to transfer heat. The higher the rating, the more heat it transfers.
    Electrical Volume Resistivity—Electrical volume resistivity measures how well a material opposes the flow of electricity. The lower the rating, the more electricity it conducts.

    High-Shear Static-Control Sealing Tape

    The acrylic adhesive on this tape is so sticky that it won’t slide around even when cut. Backed with a metalized polyester, this tape minimizes the buildup and discharge of static electricity, so you can apply it to electronic parts. Tested to meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, it gives off almost no volatile emissions that could damage sensitive electronics and optics, even in a vacuum. It’s often used in prototyping to temporarily join two parts that you’ll want to separate later. It removes cleanly from your parts, even after heat exposure.

    Heavy Duty EMI/RFI Shielding Conformal Coatings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Conformal Coatings. Heavy Duty EMI/RFI Shielding Conformal Coatings.
    Coat electronics for durability in tough conditions while blocking EMI/RFI signals. Made of epoxy mixed with silver-coated copper, these coatings are stronger than acrylic plastic EMI/RFI coatings. They are rigid enough to withstand the wear of access panels and industrial cabinets. You can also use them in engine compartments because they resist damage from high temperatures and chemicals. Also known as conductive paint, they shield your parts from interference that could cause circuit malfunction and data loss. Mix the two parts of these compounds together and paint them on components.
    Cannot Be Sold to Canada— These coatings cannot be sold to Canada due to product labeling requirements.

    Low-Outgassing Aluminum Foil Conductive Tape

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Conductive Tape. Low-Outgassing Aluminum Foil Conductive Tape.
    Tested to meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, this tape gives off almost no volatile emissions that could damage sensitive electronics, even in a vacuum. It’s more conformable than copper tape, so you can cover textured housings and round cables without leaving gaps for electromagnetic interference (EMI) to get in. When EMI makes contact, the conductive backing and adhesive convert it into heat and actively reflect it away. The conductivity of this tape also makes it great for electrical connections. Use it on surfaces that can’t be soldered.

    Low-Outgassing Copper Foil Conductive Tape

    Tested to meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, this tape releases almost no volatile emissions that could damage sensitive electronics, even in a vacuum. Use it to repair and prototype circuit boards and shield components from EMI/RFI. With a copper backing and conductive adhesive, it’s useful for making electrical connections—current travels both along and through the tape. Unlike aluminum tape, it can be soldered. It’s also better at resisting chemicals.

    Made with fiberglass for durability and abrasion resistance, this electrically-insulating tape also withstands high temperatures. The cloth can absorb electrically insulating varnishes.
    Acrylic Plastic Adhesive—Tape with acrylic plastic adhesive is the best at conforming to irregularly shaped surfaces. It’s also the best choice for use around sensitive electronics. Compliant with the NASA-set ASTM E595 standard, it gives off almost no volatile emissions that could damage electronics, even in a high vacuum. It’s made without halogens, so it won’t produce toxic smoke if it catches fire, either. This tape resists solvents, so it won’t come off during cleaning.
