What do you call the clear adhesive film used to shield electronics?

Question

I am a newbie and am just trying to fix the remote control for my electric fireplace.

I am trying to replace a ~~peanut butter~~ dome button with a contact switch.

Between the cover and the PCB board there is a plastic sheet with adhesive on each side with holes cut out for buttons.

This adhesive sheet is what I need to replace/use to affix the contact button.

Can anyone point me to the product or at least tell me what it is called?

Below is an example of the type of remote.

A button from a peanut butter keyboard, that is a keyboard that is completely sealed and on which you press buttons by deforming the plastic, thus being impervious to spills, such as peanut butter. e.g. the keyboard used at McDonald's. — bnieland, Commented Sep 30, 2022 at 2:10
@bnieland - >.< Lol. You're talking about a membrane keyboard/keypad. — enhzflep, Commented Sep 30, 2022 at 2:16
Here's how they're made. Both the sort with a soft, squishy feel and the ones with a more obvious 'click'. youtube.com/watch?v=ewUzWdOvb84 - Perhaps a dome switch would work for you. — enhzflep, Commented Sep 30, 2022 at 2:23
@bnieland That's called a membrane keyboard. I have never heard anyone call it a peanut butter keyboard before. — Hearth, Commented Sep 30, 2022 at 3:18

It's very likely a double-sided tape, such as '3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tape 467MP', I think.
