Is green tape in 3D fab drawers kapton tape?

Just wanting to double check that the green tape for print bedding is kapton tape and if i can have a foot of it?

It is not Kapton tape. The green see through tape is PET tape. If you need high temperature resistant properties of kapton tape DO NOT USE the PET tape. PET is a thermoplastic that will melt/burn when it gets too hot. Kapton is a special thermoset plastic that is designed for high temp applications.

Kapton is always yellowish goldish in color, with a crinkly feel and not stretchy at all.
