Sealing Tape for Sealing Polycarbonate - 38 mm

Product detailed description

Self-adhesive tape made of a strong corrugated material with a plastic surface and a single-sided acrylic adhesive coating. It is used to seal the cells of polycarbonate sheets. Thanks to its strong adhesive, the tape is sufficiently resistant to damage, even in an outdoor environment. Moreover, the tape adapts well to most PC sheets during thermal stress or their linear thermal expansion. This is a solid (continuous) variant of the tape.

Functional properties

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

Selection and installation

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

• Polycarbonate 4 mm - tape width 28 mm
• Polycarbonate 6 mm - tape width 28-38 mm
• Polycarbonate 8-10 mm - tape width 38-60 mm

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 makes it very easy to identify the places where renewal will be needed over time.

Even with the correct use of mounting tapes, you cannot prevent the possible formation of condensation in the sheet's cells. Polycarbonate allows water vapor to pass through the walls of the sheet into the cells and vice versa. This is a natural physical phenomenon caused by the difference in air humidity and temperature concentration on the interior and exterior sides. Once conditions stabilize, the condensation disappears again.
