The high purity double sided conductive adhesive carbon tabs and tapes are especially developed for SEM \/ EDS applications. The material used for both the tabs and tapes is fully transparent for EDS with only trace amounts of Al and Si. The material is constructed using a non-woven liner coated on both sides with a conductive, carbon filled pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive. Total thickness of the material is approximately 150\u00b5m with an adhesive thickness of 45\u00b5m on both sides. The adhesive used has a high adhesion strength to metals, plastics, ceramics, wafers, rubber, wood, glass, paper, and small particles or fibers. The conductivity of the carbon tapes and tabs is lower than the conductivity of double sided copper tape or the double sided conductive Lift-N-Press tabs, but it is still fully compatible with SEM\/EDS applications.<\/p>\n
Features and benefits of the double sided carbon tabs and tapes are:
\n– Thin material; 150\u00b5m total with 45\u00b5m on each side of a 35\u00b5m non-woven carrier
\n– Plastic liner on both sides
\n– Use temperature range -20\u00b0C to + 60\u00b0C
\n– Low outgassing rates
\n– Fully EDS transparent high purity for EDS applications
\n– High strength thin adhesive (2×45\u00b5m) combined with high tack
\n– Long shelf life and can be stored in a refrigerator
\n– Resistance 50K-200K<\/p>\n
The EM-Tec high purity conductive double sided adhesive carbon tabs are supplied on a clear plastic sheet with a white plastic liner tab. Available as \u00d86mm, \u00d89mm \u00d812mm and \u00d825mm carbon tabs.
\nTo use: lift the tab of the clear backing sheet, press the sticky surface to the mount, then peel away the white liner tab, leaving the adhesive exposed. Mount sample on the exposed adhesive. Alternatively, the white liner tab can be removed, the stub pressed on the exposed carbon tab and the clear plastic lifted off. The use of sharp pointed tweezers helps to lift of the tabs and liner. The carbon tabs can be easily removed with isopropanol, ethyl acetate, ethanol or acetone.
\nThe \u00d86mm carbon tabs are intended for smaller samples or when smaller tabs are required
\nThe \u00d89mm carbon tabs are compatible with \u00d89.5mm JEOL stubs
\nThe \u00d812mm carbon tabs are compatible with \u00d812.7mm pin stubs, \u00d812.2mm JEOL stubs and \u00d815mm Hitachi stubs.
\nThe \u00d825mm carbon tabs are compatible with \u00d825.4mm pin stubs, \u00d825mm JEOL stubs and \u00d825mm Hitachi stubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
