CAF paste is a strong paste for sealing and bonding between materials, especially in areas that are subject to thermal stress / heat. The CAF paste remains liquid for a while, leaving some time to assemble and bond parts. It cures at room temperature. CAF paste can be used to seal and bond a range of materials, including glass, metal, plastic, wood, cement, brick, and ceramics.

Electrically conductive carbon adhesive sheets suitable for SEM/EDS applications. Sold in a pack of 10.

Carbon based, highly electrically conductive, double sided adhesive discs, also known as Leit tabs. These sticky discs now have an improved backing which is easy to remove and peels away cleanly. They have been developed to eliminate background noise from SEM imaging. (9mm width, Pack of 100)

A high quality, very electrically conductive carbon adhesive tape with a thin aluminium foil (30µm) core suitable for SEM or EDX applications. (8mm width, 20m reel)

This Cryo-Laminate tape protects against extreme cryogenic conditions including liquid and vapor phase liquid nitrogen as well as other chemicals. This ultra-thin cryo laminating tape provides excellent protection against most chemicals and reagents.

Crystalbond adhesives allow temporary bonding of delicate crystals, metallurgical samples, glass components and ceramic substrates. (Crystalbond 555-HMP Adhesive Stick 68g)

A sampling pen providing a sticky membrane, stable up to 120°C / 110°C, which stops paraffin sections moving, wrinkling or falling off slides. The Fro-Tissuer is used to create a sticky coating that is designed to prevent frozen tissue sections from falling off, moving, or wrinkling on the slide during immunohistostaining procedures. The pen can be used with LAB-SA, PAP/APAAP, ABC, and in conjunction with Invitrogen PAP Pen. The coating is stable up to 110°C.

This insulating varnish is used, for example, when securing or thermally anchoring electrical wires to solid surfaces. It has excellent bonding properties and good electrical and chemical resistance, combined with good resistance to thermal cycling.

General Purpose Epoxy Resin Adhesive is a very fast setting adhesive which can be used for bonding plastics glass-metals, ceramics and sealing porous surfaces. This high strength resin sets in just 5 minutes. When it is cured it provides a tough, insoluble bond with good adhesion to a variety of substrates.

Pen designed to apply a thin layer of adhesive to grids with minimal pressure for tissue mounting or pre-treating before coating with thin films. The adhesive will dry, ready for tissue mounting, in 1 to 2 minutes.

These tapes mold tightly to any container, withstand acids, alkalis, oils, and greases. They will not crack, peel, or fall off in 550°F dry oven temperatures. (1/2” WIDE)

Loctite® 460 is a fast curing, low odour, low viscosity glue which can be used as an alternative to wax for mounting samples on glass for TEM/FIB thinning. 50g. 

A roll of PVC tape for boats, measuring 9mm x 33m. PVC tape is a highly flexible polyvinyl chloride film coated with a specially formulated adhesive that provides excellent adhesion whilst being highly flexible. It is also durable and can withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, and chemicals.

QuickStick is a temporary mounting wax, with a melting point of 135°C, used to bond samples during processing.

Highly electrically conductive carbon adhesive tabs with a thin aluminium foil (30µm) core suitable for SEM or EDX applications and ideal for automated analysis of particles. These tabs have a smooth surface that is superior to standard woven carbon tape for SEM and EDS analysis of powders and small fibers. Supplied in a pack of 100.

Super smooth, polished silicon mounts are ideal for applications where the machined surface of aluminium or carbon stubs can cause interference. Useful for the examination of small particles with fine structure. 10 x 10 x 0.5mm. Pack of approx 55

Spectro high purity conductive carbon tabs have been a standard for quality carbon tabs for many years with smooth, clean surfaces for use in SEM mounting and other diverse applications including gunshot residue analysis. Spectrotabs have a much lower level of impurities than standard carbon (Leit) tabs, avoiding anomalous results during X-ray analysis of small particles and powders. 25mm width, come in a pack of 63.

Standard Carbon Conductive Adhesive Tabs are formed by two sides of thick conductive adhesive (45µm on each side) with the center conductive core film (35µm). With the total thickness of 125µm, these tabs will offer reasonably firm, smooth surfaces for a variety SEM applications, including gunshot residue analysis. Tabs are protected by white liners, which do not have to be removed when samples are ready to be mounted.

Wax to keep ultramicrotome cut sections in a neat row, simply by applying a thin layer of wax to the sides of the block face at the top and bottom of the trapezoid. Can also be used to hold crystals or other materials while they are being sliced, lapped or polished.
