Kapton Polyimide Tape is known for its superior ability to maintain its physical properties under harsh conditions. This general purpose film easily bonds to difficult surfaces with silicone adhesive, and leaves little to no residue when removed. Microscopists find it ideal for holding samples or masking during deposition in vacuum systems (it is relatively low outgassing). It is also perfect for positioning samples in cryo or high temperature working conditions. There are no known organic solvents for the film.
