Sealing tape for closing polycarbonate - 28 mm

Product detailed description

A self-adhesive tape made of a strong corrugated material with a plastic surface and acrylic adhesive applied on one side. It is used to close the cells of polycarbonate sheets. Thanks to its strong adhesive, the tape is sufficiently resistant to damage, even in outdoor environments. The tape also adapts well to most PC sheets during thermal stress or their linear thermal expansion. This is the solid (non-perforated) variant of the tape.

Functional properties

• The tape contracts and expands together with the polycarbonate sheet.
• Effective at both high and low temperatures (-30°C ~ +80°C); minimum application temperature: +10°C.
• Excellent moisture resistance.
• Durable, strong outdoor adhesive.
• Perfect adhesion to irregular surfaces.
• Developed specifically for polycarbonate applications.

Selection and installation

When purchasing the tape, you need to consider what tape width you will need. It is, of course, better to have a tape that is half a centimeter too wide than 1 mm too narrow. Below are general recommendations for choosing the tape according to the thickness of the polycarbonate sheet.

• 4 mm polycarbonate - 28 mm tape
• 6 mm polycarbonate - 28-38 mm tape
• 8-10 mm polycarbonate - 38-60 mm tape

During application, the surface of the sheet must be dry and free of grease. The tape, which has adhesive on one side, is then applied. Another advantage of the ventilation tape is that it is very easy to see where renewal will be needed over time.

Even correct use of the installation tapes cannot prevent possible condensation from forming inside the sheet cells. Polycarbonate allows water vapor to pass through the sheet walls into the cells and vice versa. This is a natural physical phenomenon caused by differences in air humidity concentration and temperature between the interior and exterior sides. Once conditions stabilize, the condensation disappears again.
