Kapton tape is a type of polyimide film that is used in a variety of applications. It is made by heating the polyimide resin to form a thin film.

Yousan Kapton tape has many benefits, including its high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation properties. It is also flexible and can be die-cut into various shapes.

Yousan Kapton tape is a versatile product with a variety of uses. It is most commonly used in electrical applications because it is resistant to high temperatures and chemicals.

Yousan Kapton tape can withstand temperatures up to 260°C (500°F) and resists solvents, oils, and acids. This makes it an ideal material for use in high-temperature environments or for applications where solvent resistance is required.

In addition, Yousan Kapton tape is also flexible and has a low coefficient of friction. This makes it great for use in applications where bearings or other moving parts are present. Overall, Yousan Kapton tape is a versatile product with a variety of uses that make it an essential part of many industries.

Clinical mycology laboratories now prepare fewer tease mounts of filamentous fungi but increasingly use a variety of tape touch or Scotch Tape methods to microscopically study molds. Mounts are often prepared with clear cellophane tape by a procedure similar to that described in Larone’s Third Edition of Medically Important Fungi: a Guide to Identification (1). Because it is not the most commonly used tape for general purposes, clear tape is often available only in craft or art supply stores. Characteristically, clear tape is a relatively thick and tough film with variable optical qualities. Preparation of tape touch mounts using frosted tape offers several advantages. First, it is readily available as a standard desk item in almost every laboratory or office, it is physically a very flat, thin material, and, finally, it can be torn easily. Handling any tape with gloved hands may present difficulties, but preparing tape touch mounts with bare hands can also pose some safety risks for the mycologist. A simple, safe, and easily executed mounting method using frosted tape is outlined herein. It results in a high-quality tape mount for microscopic study.
