Ultra Optically Clear Mounting Tape
With a higher level of clarity than standard tape, this tape is good for joining layers of material that need light to pass through, such as clear plastic and glass. It’s often used to bond layers in digital displays. Tape is produced in a clean room environment, so it’s free of contaminants that could disrupt clarity.

High-Temperature Glue-on-a-Roll
This silicone glue withstands high temperatures and bonds slippery plastics. Also known as adhesive transfer tape, these rolls have a thin film of pressure-sensitive glue on a peel-away liner. They are thinner and more conformable than tape with adhesive on both sides.
