Carbon tabs, tapes & sheets
| The simplicity of application and smooth, clean surfaces of PELCO Tabs Carbon Conductive Tabs are a significant improvement compared to many of the other common adhesives that have been used in SEM mounting.
Both tab sides have a thick conductive adhesive (conductive inner tab is 35 m and the adhesive is 45 m on each side for a total thickness of 125 m [5 mils]) with a liner on both sides, a transparent liner and white liner respectively. They are ready for immediate use. The top protective liner does not have to be removed until the sample is ready to be mounted. Many laboratories use these tabs for SEM in a large diversity of applications. Adhering of the tab to a mount or surface should be done slowly and carefully to maintain surface smoothness. Refrigeration will increase shelf life but a warm up period of one hour is then required before use. The PELCO Tabs consist of a carbon fiber mat impregnated with a conductive adhesive. 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. Temperature maximum is 60 C (140 F). High purity carbon tabs may contain very small impurities of Al and Si; see EDX Spectra. |

The thicker PELCO Image Tabs is a stiff 260 m (10mil) thick smooth conductive tab. Though not as conductive or sticky as the current 5mil PELCO Tabs, PELCO Image Tabs are suitable as a photographic background and are repositionable. This tab is also suitable for Jet Scan applications where the tab must be removed and archived.
The PELCO Image Tab’s surface is less prone to bubbling and cracking when metal coated under vacuum and thus better than the 125 m (5mil) PELCO Tab as a photographic background for small particles like pollen and insect parts.
Both sides of the 200 m thick conductive polycarbonate base have 30 m thick conductive adhesive. Total thickness is 260 m with a liner on both sides. Protection for handling, storage and shipping is provided on one side by the transparent liner sheet and on the other side by the white liner cover.
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. Temperature maximum is 60 C (140 F).
Small impurities of Ni, Cu, Si, Sb, S, Na, P and very small impurities of Fe and Mg can be found.
Refrigeration will increase shelf life but a warm-up time of 1 hour is then required before use.

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, 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 PELCO Tabs; only very small impurities of Al and Si may be found.
Both sides of the tape have a thick conductive adhesive (conductive inner film is 35 m and the adhesive is 45 m on each side for a total of 125 m [5 mils]) 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. Thickness is 0.16mm. Available in four widths. Can be used down to -20 C (-4 F) and temperature maximum is 60 C (140 F).
Available in 8, 12, 20, 25, and 50mm W x 20m L (.31, .47, .79, .98, and 1.96″ x 21.8 yd). Core diameter is 76mm (3″).
