| Your choices are... | |||
| Abrasion / Scratch Resistant | The product features abrasion or scratch resistance. | ||
| Anti-Reflection / Anti-Glare | Anti-reflection or anti-glare products are coated films or tapes with a thin-film coating for reducing reflection. The idea behind anti-reflection coatings is that the creation of a double interface via thin film provides two reflected waves. If these waves are out of phase, they partially or totally cancel each other. If the coating is a quarter-wavelength in thickness and has an index of refraction less that of the glass, the coating has two reflections that are 180° out of phase. Anti-glare films or overlays reduce glare by using diffusive surface. Roughening, polarization, or nanoparticles can be used to diffuse the light from the surface. | ||
| Anti-static / ESD Control | Tapes or film products have anti-static, static dissipating, or electrostatic discharge (ESD) control features. Typically, ESD control products have conductive, friction reducing, or ionizing characteristics. | ||
| Chemical Resistant | Products are resistant to chemicals, including solvents. | ||
| Dielectric / Insulating | Dielectric tapes are used as membrane dielectrics in multilayer capacitors. These tapes consist of an acrylic polymer mixed with a dielectric solid. | ||
| Electrically Conductive | Electrically conductive products can conduct electricity and provide protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD). They may also provide shielding from electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). Conductive tapes and films are used in electrical heating element and other electronics applications. | ||
| EMI / RFI Shielding | EMI or RFI shielding products can provide protection or shielding from electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). Most shielding uses a conductive material to surround the device or equipment requiring shielding. Conductive EMI shielding works on the electric field portion of the electromagnetic wave or interference. Magnetic shielding is less common. | ||
| Privacy Filter | The film has a privacy filtering characteristic that prevent unauthorized users or bystanders from viewing information on a disp | ||
| Reflective | Reflective films are used to control radiant heat or enhance display brightness. Reflective tapes are highly visible and provide warnings about unsafe conditions. They are used in rotating or moving equipment to trigger proximity sensors, or enable a tachometer to make readings. | ||

|
| ||
| Film Material: | The carrier or backing is a relatively thin, flexible material to which an adhesive is applied. | ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Plastic / Polymer | Plastic products incorporate one or more plastic layers, or consist of plastic film or sheets that can be clear or colored, printed or plain, single-layered or multilayered, and combined with materials such as aluminum and paper. There are two general categories of plastics: thermoplastics and thermosets. | ||
| PET / Polyester | Polyethylene teraphthalate (PET) / polyester products use a PET or polyester backing in the form of tape, film, or laminate. | ||
| Polycarbonate | Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic material with excellent toughness and transparency characteristics. | ||
| Polyimide (e.g., Kapton®) | Polyimide film maintains its excellent physical, mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties over a wide range of physical environments. Kapton® tape is made of polyimide film and a heat-resistant silicone adhesive. Kapton is a registered trademark of DuPont Teijin Films. Polyimide films are very useful substrates for the manufacture of flexible circuit materials. | ||
| Silicone | Products use a silicone backing in the form of a tape, film, or laminate. | ||
| Acrylic / Acrylate | Acrylic films are plastic or thermoplastic resin films manufactured using polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or polymethyl-2-methylpropanoate. PMMA resins are the result of polymerization of acrylic acid derivatives or other acrylate compounds such as esters of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, and their copolymers. Acrylic films have good optical properties (clarity) and are UV stable. Plexiglas® (Altofina Chemicals, Inc) is a common acrylic sheet and film material. | ||

| Thickness | Thickness is the distance from one surface of a tape, film, or laminate backing or adhesive to the other. It is usually expressed in mils or thousandths of an inch, and is measured under slight pressure with a special gauge. | ||

| Your choices are... | |||
| Coated | Coated products are precision-coated through a thin-film deposition (sputtering, PVD, CVD), dyeing, laminating, spray coating, roll coating, or other web coating process. Coatings provide scratch resistance, control friction or adhesion (controlled COF), and release. They also improve print reception, alter optical transmission or reflection, and provide decorative characteristics. | ||
| Hard Coat / Thin Film | The film or tape has a hard coat or thin-film deposit, which provides wear protection or other specialized characteristics. | ||
| ITO | Film product is coated with a layer of Indium tin oxide or ITO. ITO provides a transparent conductive layer and makes films useful for display, window and photovoltaic applications. | ||
| Metallized | Products have a metallized layer, metallic appearance, or thin-film coating. | ||
| Moisture / Vapor Barrier | The film, liner, or tape material can block the transmission or permeation of moisture or vapor. Moisture and vapor barriers are often used in construction applications in walls, roofs, and foundations. | ||
| Thermally Insulating / Insulative | Thermally insulating or insulative products, such as structural insulative panels (SIP), provide insulation from heat. | ||
| Transparent | Transparent products allow the transmission of light. A tape is rated as transparent if 10-point type can be read easily when the tape is applied directly over it. | ||
| UL Listed | Products are approved for use by Underwriters Laboratory (UL). | ||
| Other | Other unlisted or proprietary features. | ||
