Customized breather tape for your polycarbonate multi-wall sheet

Polycarbonate is perfect to use in glazing systems. This material offers a lightweight construction and is strong and sustainable. Since polycarbonate is permeable, the only challenge is condensation inside the multiwall sheets. However, Multifoil has created a product that can solve this challenge. Multifoil is a Dutch specialist in pressure-sensitive adhesives and offers quality AntiDUST® tape. This tape protects your multiwall sheets from dirt and keeps them clear and clean for the long term. You can even order customised tape for your polycarbonate multiwall sheets, adding your own logo to the AntiDUST® tape.

More about classic breather tape for multiwall sheets

AntiDUST® tape is a breather tape (also known as vent tape) and has been successfully applied in projects all over the world. The tape is used in projects for hospitals, factories, stadiums and conservatories, and even for carports and porches in individual households. Breather tape has a built-in filter, which offers great drainage. Combining breather tape with sealing tape ensures that your multiwall sheets will remain clean for a lifetime. Multifoil has been developing AntiDUST® tape for over 30 years. Some of the features of our breather tape are:

• Moisture resistant
• Able to guide condensation out
  
• Allows expansion and contraction of polycarbonate multiwall sheets
• Offers the right amount of drainage for multiwall sheets
• Extreme adhesiveness
• Resistant to dust, algae and mould
• Material is specially treated

Is condensation a big problem for multi-wall sheets?

Condensation is the natural process in which vapour in the air changes into liquid water. When the vapour meets a cooler surface, it turns into droplets. These droplets turn liquid inside multiwall cells. If condensation remains inside a multiwall sheet, this can create many problems and you’re your sheets in the long run. Luckily our AntiDUST® tape filter has a surface treatment that helps to guide the condensation out of multiwall sheets. It also keeps contaminants like algae and fungi, which need condensation to exist, out of the cells of the multiwall sheets. Other tapes do not offer drainage and closing the sheets with a non-draining tape will create ideal conditions for the development of algae and fungi.

Enemies of your multiwall sheets: algae

Algae is a group of photosynthetic organisms that grows in moist areas. It thrives in daylight, spreads very rapidly and produces airborne spores. The pigmentation of algae comes from a UV-resistant sheath which protects them from desiccation. Algae appear as red, black or green stains. There are many types of algae, and there are a several that attack materials like polycarbonate multiwall sheets. Multifoil has developed an effective solution that deals with these invaders, keeping both moisture and airbone spores out with our AntiDUST® tape. We strive to keep developing more methods to protect your multiwall sheet from algae.

Do budget breather tapes offer enough protection against fungus for your multiwall sheets?

Fungi thrive in the dark, making the ends of roofs a perfect environment for them. Fungus is a threat to multiwall sheets, but not as much as algae. Algae grow in the visible area of the cells of a multiwall sheet. Budget tapes are usually constructed of aluminium or non-woven fabric that doesn’t breathe or filter at all. They do not prevent the development of algae. In order to ensure that your multiwall sheets are protected from all sorts of algae and fungi, we therefore advise using our specifically designed AntiDUST® tape.

AntiDUST® tape for sealing the top and bottom edges of a multiwall sheet

Do you want to seal the edges of multiwall polycarbonate sheets to protect them from insects, moisture and dust? Use AntiDUST® tape for the bottom of your pc sheets. AntiDUST® tape can be used to seal the bottom of a twinwall polycarbonate panel. This venting tape is different from traditional masking tapes, because it keeps out moisture and dust, while allowing polycarbonate panels to breathe and condensation to drain. It can be used as a top-sealing tape for a greenhouse or carport, and even as a roof adhesive tape. Non-filter tape is applied to the top of the sheets. It prevents mould and algae growth in the sheet's chambers, and also prevents dust and insects from getting inside.

Where to buy Multifoil AntiDUST® tape for multi-wall sheets?

There are many different widths and lengths of AntiDUST® tapes available. Multifoil produces full-width breathing tapes for multiwall sheets in varying lengths. Our staff can easily adapt the length and width of the rolls to the size of the multiwall sheets you are using. Do you want to customize the tape with your logo or brand name? That is also possible! Furthermore, all of our products come with instruction manuals and additional technical info to help avoid errors when applying the tape. If you wish to purchase AntiDUST® tape, you can simply contact us via e-mail. Our staff will fulfil your request immediately.

Make the installation process of multiwall sheets more efficient

Not only is Multifoil a specialist when it comes to developing pressure-sensitive adhesives; we have also developed smart solutions for applying AntiDUST® tape, making the production and installation of the multiwall sheet more efficient. For example, normally multiwall sheets are installed using a table dispenser or a handheld tape dispenser, because tapes need to be applied with slight pressure to obtain proper adhesiveness. In order to reduce the risk of cuts and burns, Multifoil has developed a pressure roller for this purpose instead.

AntiDUST® tape products have changed the way people use a multiwall sheet as a material. The effectiveness of AntiDUST® tape helps to expand the lifetime of sheets in many crucial circumstances.
