These double-sided adhesive, electrically conductive tape was specially developed for attaching samples to be examined. It has no discernible structure and provides the ideal background against which to view the whole specimen. Use of tapes greatly reduces the background x-ray counts, giving greater accuracy and lower detection limits. This tape has been introduced to meet the demands of those working with UHS systems, who want to reduce the amount of exposed organic surfaces in their systems. Innovative conductive fibers extend above the adhesive, ensuring a solid electrical connection between the substrates.

The tape enables the mounting of samples without contamination from any paint. It enables the mounting of highly porous or absorbent samples without distortion caused by liquid being pulled into the sample. It also provides good conductivity. The tape is extremely lightweight and has excellent conformability to enhance shielding performance and appearance. They are generally made of aluminum and copper, because of their high conductivity.

Typical applications include cable shielding terminations, and joining metal panels together at the seams of an enclosure. They are also used in navigation system, entertainment system, CD/receiver head units, display shields, card cage shields, and roadside assistance system. Also used for thermal management for bonding heat spreaders and stiffeners.
